These beautiful christmas decorations are made from gourds in Peru. They are are bright red in colour and come in assorted designs. They look really lovely hung on the christmas tree, something a bit different and made from natural materials.
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.
