Celebrate centuries of Peruvian folk artistry with this Hand-Carved Gourd Tree Ornament Set, crafted using the ancient Mate Burilado technique. Made from the legendary Bulgaris gourd—known as mate in Peru—each ornament tells a story etched by hand using a traditional scalpel called a buril.
This art form dates back over 3,500 years, with some of the earliest carved gourds discovered at the Huaca Prieta temple on Peru’s northern coast. Every piece in this set features delicate, finely etched scenes inspired by everyday rural life, cultural traditions, and symbolic motifs. The intricate details are entirely hand-styled and hand-painted, giving each ornament its own unique character.
Lovingly handmade by skilled Peruvian artisans using age-old techniques passed down through generations, these ornaments make meaningful additions to Christmas trees, holiday décor, or curated folk art collections. No two pieces are exactly alike—small variations are a beautiful reminder of their handcrafted nature.
Whether displayed during the festive season or gifted to someone who appreciates cultural craftsmanship, this set of three Mate Burilado gourd ornaments brings warmth, history, and authenticity into any space.
