Gourd Hair Clips

Peruvian hair clips made from slices of gourd and featuring a variety of designs carved into the wood.

Decorating gourds is a tradition that dates back centuries in Peru. The method of decoration begins with the artist engraving the surface of the gourd with a sharp tool. The artist then uses a wood-burning device to highlight and colour the carved areas of the gourd. The final result is a flawless and magnificent piece of art work.

Dimensions: Approximately 9cm long.

There are two types of clip to choose from - a wooden pin or a metal clip - both are the same price.

Price: £1.95 each
