To enhance & preserve the beauty of these gourds, they have been protected with a clear varnish and may be lightly dusted with a soft cloth. These gourds should be displayed out of direct sunlight to keep the rich color of the leather dyes.  The gourds on my website may have been sold, but if you are interested in any you see, please contact me.
