Harvest Ritual Gourd

Rich in symbolism and visual storytelling, Harvest Ritual Gourd by Tito Medina captures a timeless pastoral scene through an intricate tapestry of linework. Etched across its full spherical form are farmers, livestock, and plants, all rendered with masterful control and vibrant motion. The upper crown features a flourishing floral motif surrounded by geometric bands, framing the narrative below like a ceremonial headdress. Each figure is carved with intent—layered, expressive, and alive with tradition.
The natural black and ochre palette gives the piece warmth and contrast, while the preserved stem adds a sculptural, organic finish. It's a piece that doesn’t just display well—it invites inspection, sparking conversations about cultural memory, labor, and reverence for the land.
