Wilfredo, Artisan Gourd Carver

“Este es un esculpe que podría dar como un regalo de boda a la nueva familia. No puede ser vendado, no tiene precio. Ninguno dos esculpes son los mismos. Cada cosa aquí tiene significado cultural. Yo esculpo cuando tengo tiempo libre, tal vez uno o dos veces al mes. Ya he estado trabajando con este obra por cinco anos.”

“This is a carving that you would give as a wedding present to the new family. It can’t be sold, it’s priceless. No two carvings are alike. Everything on here has cultural signficance. I work on carving this when I have free time, maybe once or twice a month. I’ve worked on this piece for five years now. “
