This vibrant hand-painted gourd box is a cheerful piece of Mexican folk art, likely made as a souvenir from Puerto Vallarta. Featuring vivid floral motifs in red, pink, green, and blue on a bright yellow background, the box includes a natural gourd stem on top and a wavy-edge lid. It is signed "Pto Vallarta," indicating its origin.
Traditionally crafted by local artisans, these boxes are made from dried gourds and painted using bold acrylics. While exact age is hard to determine, this piece appears to be made within the past 20–30 years, based on condition and paintwork.
