Brown Imperial Mate Gourd with Alpaca Base

This brown imperial mate gourd with an alpaca base is entirely handmade by an artisan in Argentina, respecting the traditional craftsmanship of mate making.

It is crafted from a thick natural gourd of Brazilian origin, selected for its quality and shape, then hand-covered with brown full-grain leather. This high-quality leather gives the mate gourd an elegant and authentic finish that will naturally develop a patina over time.

Its wide engraved alpaca virola, worked and fitted by hand, reinforces the upper part of the gourd. Its distinctive feature is its alpaca base, specially crafted for the mate gourd, which covers and reinforces the entire lower section while providing both stability and character.

Entirely handcrafted, this is a high-end imperial mate gourd, made in Argentina and designed for those looking for a traditional piece with particularly refined finishes.
