Folk Art carved gourd with birds and flowers, hand carved in the Sacred Valley, Peru and signed "Luna."

The mate gourd grows on a climbing plant in the dry warm regions of the Andes. The outer green peel is removed to reveal a hard shell that is similar to wood. The designs are etched and burned in a process similar to wood burning. G52506
