Three-Piece Story Gourd Set

$100.00

Small in scale but rich in storytelling, the Three-Piece Story Gourd Set by Tito Medina brings together three individually etched gourds, each bearing its own narrative in miniature. The set includes two red-toned gourds and one amber-toned piece, all shaped in a double-gourd form — traditionally associated with fertility and protection.
Each surface is filled with finely etched figures, animals, flora, and architectural elements. One gourd appears to depict a festival procession, another shows scenes of daily work in the Andes, and a third features a more symbolic arrangement — possibly ceremonial or mythological. The precision and scale of these carvings are a testament to Medina’s steady hand and deep cultural knowledge.
Grouped together, these gourds become a trio of visual poems — each piece holding its own mood while harmonizing with the others through form and spirit.
