This gorgeous piece features traditional bird and foliage designs. A ring at the top of the piece makes hanging it a cinch. The mate gourd grows high in the Andes. The extreme climate causes it to develop a hard shell similar to wood but lighter in weight.
The Story Behind the Product
Juan and his family live in Huancayo, Peru. Gourd art is passed on from generation to generation and Juan's family can account for at least 6 generations of continuing tradition. The gourds were originally used as ornate water vessels for ceremonial offerings to the Incas. The family keeps their ancient Incan culture alive and Juan's wife still dresses in full traditional attire with long fluffy skirts called 'polleras'. They hope you will enjoy the detail oriented craftsmanship they are so proud of.

More details
The actual gourd birdhouse that arrived (quickly and in great condition) is exactly like the one pictured online, even though the text "warned" of variations due to being hand crafted from natural materials. I purchased it for decorative purposes rather than outdoor use, so I have to be neutral on durability. The craftsmanship and design are simply charming. I am pleased with my purchase.
This lovely birdhouse is light as a feather but very sturdy. You can tell by the fine finish and careful details that it was made with lots of pride. A great keepsake.
