Painted Traditional Jaguar-Themed Calabash Gourd Ornament, "Tropical Jaguar"

Costa Rica's tropical arts embellish a sublime creation by Ruth Guevara. Honoring the region's nature, the artisan works on a calabash gourd, hand-carving a traditional jaguar figure around geometric details. The ornament is later painted in warm hues that beautifully complement the material's natural color. Finally, the artisan equips her creation with jute cords that allow you to hang the piece anywhere.
