After carving and etching the linework by hand, the artisan hand-paints each section in vivid color against a dark purple background — a more detailed, multi-step technique than our plain flame-etched gourd ornaments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design wraps a single hummingbird around the whole gourd: one side shows its face, the other shows its tail feathers fanned in color, so the two sides read as one continuous bird rather than two separate images.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause each gourd is carved, etched, and painted entirely by hand, small variations in line work and color placement are normal and part of what makes every piece genuinely one-of-a-kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"paka-acc\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Specifications \u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"paka-icon\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"paka-acc-body\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Natural gourd, hand-carved, hand-etched, and hand-painted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: Hummingbird motif — face on one side, tail feathers on the other — in color against a dark purple background\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: Hand-carved, etched, and painted by an artisan in Cochas, Huancayo, Peru\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: Approximately 4\" tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHanging: Hangs from a silver metal loop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Handmade in Cochas, Huancayo, Peru\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge rating: Recommended for ages 3 and above\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"paka-acc\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eOwnership \u0026amp; Care \u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"paka-icon\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"paka-acc-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDust gently with a soft, dry cloth.
