Beautiful large hand-carved and etched gourd from Peru, known as a mate burilado — a traditional Andean folk art form practiced for centuries. This striking piece depicts detailed village scenes with figures, animals, and foliage carved into the natural gourd and highlighted with burnished tones of brown and black.
Each design is meticulously incised by hand using fine tools, making every piece one-of-a-kind. The gourd has a gently curved, elongated shape with a stylized human face at the top and layered storytelling scenes wrapping around the body.
