- Incan World Gifts-- Peruvian gourds: Penguins, owls, Christmas decor, wall decor, key chains, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, boxes, purses, giraffes and much more. Gourd art is the oldest and most traditional example of Peruvian handicraft. The "mate" gourd grows on a climbing plant that thrives in the dry, warm regions of the Andes. The weather conditions of the Andes contribute to its hard shell, which is similar to wood. Subtle shade variations will occur from piece to piece, adding to its unique qualities. Measurements may vary slightly.
