Natural containers used for thousands of years in Mexico, carved gourds are a unique form of Mexican folk art. Some simple gourds serve as bowls and utensils, while others are transformed into rattles or intricately carved decorative objects.
In parts of Oaxaca, Mixtec Indians carve ornamental gourds.
Craftspeople carve gourd bowls from the rind of the fruit of the calabash tree (Crescentia cujete), which grows in the coastal areas of Guerrero and Oaxaca. Gourds are left to dry and then cut in half and placed in water until the interior rots. The hard rind is then cleaned out and smoothed before being carved and polished.
