Description
Pyro-engraved gourd container (part a) with lid (part b). The container and lid are intricately carved. The container has a horizontal panel that extends around the circumference depicting a scene of musicians, and people dancing. Below, a thin band with a plaited design with the word ARTE on one side, and PERUANO on the opposite side. The base has a six-point star with an eight-petaled flower within. Between the points of the star are various animals: goat, toad, bull, fox with chicken, raptor with snake, and tall slender bird. At the centre of the flower is carved 'Max Inga A, Piura, Peru '78'. The lid is carved with flower motifs, and has a flower-like base that is cut directly out of the gourd.
