Description

Very beautiful pair of traditional handmade maracas, made from natural gourd and entirely hand-painted, of Mexican origin.

Each maraca is decorated with stylized floral patterns in vibrant colors – red, turquoise, and white – characteristic of Mexican folk art from the 1960s–1970s. The slight variations between the two pieces are a testament to authentic handcrafted production, making this set unique.

The maracas are fully functional: the sound is present, clear, and rhythmic, thanks to their natural filling (seeds). They can be used as a percussion instrument but also fit perfectly as decorative objects in a bohemian, ethnic, or artist's home setting.

✨ Condition: very nice vintage condition, patina consistent with age
✨ Origin: Mexico
✨ Period: 1960s–1970s
✨ Material: hand-painted natural gourd
✨ Décor: polychrome floral patterns
✨ Function: musical instrument & decorative object
✨ Sale: by the pair

A set full of character, perfect for lovers of traditional craftsmanship, vintage ethnic pieces, or to add a warm and unique touch to an interior.

“Each piece is unique, hand-painted on natural gourd.”
