Handcrafted from half of a natural calabash tree fruit and finished with a chambira palm fiber hanging cord. Traditionally, calabash fruit halves have been used in the Amazon as si mple bowls for holding foods, drinks, and small household items. This one-of-a-kind piece has been transformed into a decorative hanging, carefully cleaned, dried, darkened with black polish, and etched by hand to reveal an owl surrounded by Shipibo-inspired ayahuasca flower motifs and flowing geometric line work. Measuring approximately 5 inches tall, 4.5 inches across, and 2 inches deep, it can be displayed on a wall, doorway, hook, or shelf as a distinctive piece of Amazon forest art. This unique piece comes with a tag listing the name and home of the artisan who made it and the plants used to create it. MODEL: DECWHM15B002 Show more
