Description

Pyro-engraved gourd. Intricate designs all over. The gourd is a disproportionate hourglass-shape, with the top portion being smaller than the bottom portion. The top is engraved with a jungle scene with birds, monkeys and squirrels included. The pinched centre of the gourd has two horizontal bands with a twisted rope design, and a large zigzag pattern in between the two bands. The bottom portion is also a jungle scene, with toucan-type birds, monkeys, lizards, snakes and small mammals on the floor.
