This is another one of our dried gourds that we cut the rounded piece off of to form a water dipper. We hollowed the gourd out and added some amgelvine, dried gourds, papaya slices, amd a timer battery tealite. Leave out year round as decorated or change out the contents seasonally. I love this gourd displayed on top of a cupboard next to an old crock filled with prim goodies. You could also place on an end table in your family room or an entrance table in your foyer. Gourd measures 13"lX6"wX4"d.
