Lidded Gourd
This is one of the first gourds that I have grown. I love the markings on it. It is adorned with long leaf pine needles and sage waxed linen. The inside is covered with handmade paper. The outside is finished with wax and the pine needles with bees wax. For that reason don't leave in the sun.
