Dried mate gourd decorative box, 'Earth Tone Elephant'
The creation of decorative and utilitarian objects from dried mate gourds have a history that stretches to long before the Spanish arrived in South America. Peruvian artisan Daniel Vargas uses wood burning techniques to create this image of an approaching elephant in shades of brown. He then seals it with candle wax and adds a wood handle to open the hollow gourd box. The natural shape of the gourd dictates size and shape so each one will be a unique work of art.
