Floral etched Gourd

A gourd is a hollow, dried shell of a fruit in the Cucurbitaceae family of plants. This natural gourd is etched with a striking floral pattern. The gourd is around 30cm high and looks really stunning. Gourds were the earliest plant species domesticated by humans and were originally used by man as containers or vessels before clay or stone pottery, and is sometimes referred to as "nature's pottery".
