Mate gourds with silver, 'Owls' (pair)

Bright silver eyes are observant as the owl hunts by night. Tito Medina crafts the whimsical pair from mate, gourds, discovering birds in their rotund shapes. One of the most original of Andean handicrafts, which dates back to pre-Hispanic times, mate gourd carving takes on a modern aspect in Medina's talented hands.

Tito Medina

Tito Medina was born on June 16, 1968. He hand-carves and adorns dried gourds, or mate, with techniques he inherited from his family. He has been dedicated to this art since 1988, and through his work he aims to convey the traditions of his region as well as for decorative gourds to achieve renown. Medina has participated in several art fairs, and together with his family has received several awards.

"There are daily struggles and I fight to provide for my family as well as to preserve the art of decorative gourds," confides Medina. "I would like to invite Novica clients to admire mates, for they are 100% natural and the work is completely manual.

"This creation is a symbol of our Andean heritage and of our love for nature. Please treasure it and it will bring you years of joy!"
