Made from a real gourd, this gourd lamp is drawn, painted, carved, wood-burned and drilled to let light show through it. It is one-of-a-kind hand, made from a real gourd to become a decorative gourd lamp. Not only is the design dyed onto the gourd; it has also been drilled through the gourd, so that when the electric cord is plugged in, the LED bulb in the lantern lights up, showing the design in silhouette.This design is handcrafted from a gourd about 8 in wide and 9 inches tall.The coloring is dye, not paint, to show the gourd's naturally beautiful markings. Hand made by me. Every gourd is unique in shape. Your purchase will truly be one-of-a-kind! This is a product that will look great whether lit or not! LED bulb and cord are included. The gourds I use are thick so won’t break. This will be a piece you can gift or pass down to a family member someday.
