Tito Medina

Two-Piece Green Gourd Set

$85.00

Elegantly hued and deeply engraved, the Two-Piece Green Gourd Set by Tito Medina showcases a refreshing take on traditional Andean storytelling. Each gourd — one in a pear-shaped form, the other in a classic double-gourd silhouette — is dyed in rich shades of green, adding vibrancy to their etched surfaces.
The artwork captures moments of highland life: figures herding animals along steep mountain trails, children playing near village homes, and birds in flight above stylized rooftops and ridgelines. One gourd features a zigzag border dividing land and sky, while the other centers on a symbolic circular motif — possibly a lake or sacred offering site — framed by concentric vignettes of daily ritual.
The green tone breathes new life into Medina’s traditional forms, enhancing contrast while offering collectors a rare and refreshing variation on his iconic style.
