Details

A scene of tenderness in the middle of a polar landscape decorates this sublime piece from the Andes region. Daniel Vargas keeps a tradition alive in this decorative box, hand-carved from a dried mate gourd and equipped with a quinual wood knob. A classic wood-burning process allows the artisan to crown the box with a penguin family portrait—all united in a warm embrace.

“Such a fun gato gourd box”

This is such a fun gourd container box that looks like a cat. It is so well made and the detailing & fun expression on the cat are priceless. Thank you for your creative talent to make such a beautiful piece.
