Giraffe Gourd

Four giraffe portraits are on this gourd. The background is carved away leaving the acrylic-painted giraffes in bas-relief. Each giraffe is surrounded by a background of mottled sky blue and tan in a roughly oval shape and framed by uncarved gourd, where the natural marks and blemishes show through the leather-dyed skin. Leafy branches are painted and pyro-engraved above each giraffe and around the opening. A 3 inch loose-fitting leafy lid is included with a 1/2 inch wooden bead handle. The top opening is approximately 2 inches in diameter. The gourd stands about 5 1/4 inches tall without the lid. With the lid, it stands approximately 6 inches; the gourd is approx. 7 3/4 inch diameter; 24 1/2 inch circumference. It is finished with acrylic varnish.
