Extra intricate
Amazon black gourds.
Decorated
with Monkeys and other animals from the Rain Forest. These Fine gourds
take muck longer to carve. The pictures are much smaller and more
difficult. After Teofila carves the pictures onto the gourd she then rubs it with a black
charcoal filling in all the cuts with with black to make them stand out more.

Handmade
in Peru.
The Peruvian
artist uses a sharp hand-made instrument to carve the intricate
pictures onto the gourd. The gourds are all natural and have not
been painted. These gourds are extra finely etched. Each 3
1/2 inch tall gourd takes over a day to etch.
The
gourds are all completely covered with scenes from the Amazon and the Peruvian Andes.
The pictures do not do justice to the fine intricate details on each
gourd.
These
gourds were etched by Teofila. She was born in the Andes
Mountains and now lives in Lima, Peru. Teofila has a little
stand on the side of the road and is always very happy to see
us. We buy many gourds from her and gladly offer her above
average prices.
