Carved
Gourd Ornament - Red Geometric Pattern

Description
Adorn your Christmas tree with this handmade carved
gourd ornament from Peru. On the north coast of Peru,
artisans use handmade tools and a steady hand to carve the
dried gourds into pieces that represent diverse aspects of
the daily lives of people from the Andes, including
harvesting potatoes, traditional dancing, and ancient
festivals, the coloration accomplished using sticks that are
burned or hearted using age-old techniques. All the
materials and products that are used to produce each gourd
are completely natural.
Due to the
handcrafted nature of this ornament, each one may vary
slightly.
Color: Red multi-color
Size: Approximately 3" in diameter
Handcrafted in Peru
About the Artisan
APTEC Peru is an
organization of producer artisans that offers a variety of
handmade products made from many materials including clay
and gourds. Learning the art of craft-making from their
parents, the artisans worked for many years for companies
but now design and create the products themselves.
Achieving the
status of a Fair Trade Organization through IFAT, the
International Fair Trade Association, APTEC Peru ensures
that artisans are paid a fair price for their products,
develops the communities in which the artisans live, and
provides an environment where artisans can earn a
sustainable income.
