Hand-Carved & Painted Peruvian Gourd Box with Lid, 9"x10"
Vibrant hand-carved and hand-painted gourd box featuring intricate animal and floral motifs in crimson, gold, and black. The piece displays traditional Andean decorative craftsmanship, with finely incised designs of deer, birds, and stylized flowers encircling its domed body and scalloped lid. The interior is coated in black pigment, and the natural stem serves as a functional handle.
Likely Peruvian in origin and created using the mate burilado technique, this unsigned, unmarked piece exemplifies the region’s folk artistry—transforming a natural gourd into an ornate decorative vessel ideal for display or storage.
Condition
Good overall condition with minor chips and small surface wear consistent with age and handmade nature. Paint and carvings remain vivid, and the lid fits securely.
Dimensions
Approx. 9" height x 10" diameter
