This story gourd has a 360 degree design that tells a story of the gourd harvest in Africa. Gourds are represented in all forms such as drums, flutes, food containers, water carriers, and ritualistic uses.  Pyro-engraving creates the forms that are then colored with leather dyes. 
 It is  15" tall and 11" in diameter.  This is a whole un-cut gourd which still contains dried seeds and pulp that when shaken, produce a rattling noise that is also a traditional use of a gourd..
