The Christmas decorations of Mexico vary by region but are always colorful and festive whether made of tin, paper, wood, textiles or clay.

These small gourds are painted with an organic laca or lacquer (made from insect parts), allowed to dry and then beautifully painted in Olínala, Guerrero. The skill of these artisans is so impressive. The lids fit perfectly and don't fall into the gourd (like some do) and they can be used to store things or just for looking at. The stem of the gourd sprouts out the top. A lovely, unique gift.
