About the Item
Set of four antique carved gourds from Peru, three little ones with silver settings and decorations and a large carved gourd.
A Gourd is a crop plant in the family Cucurbitaceae, like pumpkins, cucumbers, squash, luffa, and melons.
'Gourd' refers to the fruits of plants or to their hollow, dried-out hard shell, like these four.
The miniature carvings on the little ones show a high standard craftsmanship from the early 20th century, so do the rare sterling silver animal sculptures on top and the silver setting basement of the little gourds.
The large hand-carved Calabash, or gourd, depicts the story of early village and farm life; villagers and animals, the farming of crops as well as a parade with music and a bullfight.
sizes:
the big one: 30cm in diameter and 20cm high (11.8" diameter, 7.9" high)
the little one with bull on top: 7cm diameter, 10cm high (2.8" diameter, 3.9 high)
the little one with dove on top: 7cm diameter, 11,5cm high (2.8" diameter, 4.5" high)
,, ,, ,, ,, ,, ,, ,, : 6cm diameter, 12,5cm high (2.4" diameter, 4.9" high)
In all four you can still hear the dried seeds inside if you shake them.
Stunning South-American pieces of Folk Art in rare museum quality and a wonderful addition to any serious collection.
