Siamese Painted Gourd Art Ornament is charming and sweet! Perfect if you are looking for an original one-of-a-kind gift for the calico cat lover in your life! Egg Gourdaments are made from dried nest egg gourds as they strongly resemble a goose or hen egg in both shape and size. These oblong gourds were used to place in the nest to trick hens, poor girls! Each gourd is fitted with hand sculpted resin clay. This clay is very durable which make them easy to ship. Acrylic, ink and leather dyes are hand painted (every design is different) on each piece, bringing out the unique personality of each gourd. The gourds will vary in shape and size. Some gourds measure 2.5" tall (like the little owls) and other measure as large as 4" (the rooster's comb usually add a little less than an inch to the length). Each egg gourd comes with a triple coat of varnish and a hemp cord for hanging. Thank you for stopping by my gourd shop. We are a family business; my 15 year old son grows most of the egg gourds and my daughter and Mom help with the gourd craft. We hope you enjoy the fun and character of each creation!
