Product Description

Add a rustic touch to your porch or kitchen window with this mate gourd owl wind chime.

This piece has one large owl and five small ones. The gourd comes in different shapes and sizes making each piece a truly original work of art.

The Story Behind The Product

Juan and his family live in the rural area of Huancayo, Peru where the majority of the populous is poor. Juan works with his wife, 3 sons, and daughter and also involves his two daughters-in-law and his son-in-law. In peak times, they get help from other family members and neighbors in their village. This allows Worldstock to help support a family of 16 and during busy times more than 5 families in the village. Gourd art is passed on from generation to generation and Juan?s family can account for at least 6 generations of continuing tradition. The gourds were originally used as ornate water vessels for ceremonial offerings to the Incas. The family keeps their ancient Incan culture alive and Juan?s wife still dresses in full traditional attire with long fluffy skirts called ?polleras.? They hope you will enjoy the detail oriented craftsmanship they are so proud of.

What is Worldstock

Nice Present (kerilynne, Duluth, MN, 2008-06-14)
 
I bought this as a gift for my mom who loves owls. The windchime was adorable and well made. It doesn't make a lot of noise or chime but it's more for looks than function. It also does not tangle up like a lot of windchimes I've owned.
