This gourds front is of mom & two baby lizards. A design goes all around as you can see most of in the lower pictures. The design is wood burned in. Leather & gourd dyes are used & the top is topped off with a black sinew. The bottom has a black buckskin covered ring to sit gourd in as bottom is a bit round. It also adds to the look. It measures 8 1/4" tall & about 8 1/2" wide.
