    Description

    This Argentina hand made and hand carved Yarba Mate Cup is a one of a kind.  It is made from a gourd, hollowed out and seasoned.
    Also known as yerba mate, cimarrón and chimarrão, mate is a hugely popular caffeine-infused drink. It is popular in the South American countries of
    Uruguay
    ,
    Paraguay
    ,
    Argentina
    and it is also consumed in some areas of
    Brazil
    .
    This particular cup is hand made and then the hand carved embelishments are attached.  The horse head and the 3 embelishments seem to be made of bone, but I am not certain. Detail carvings, see some of the closeups in the photos.
    Again, I am not an expert, and since I cannot find any others like this I am relaying what I learned in my research.
    Please ask any questions or leave any comments.
    There are two small chips on the carved pieces, enlarge photos to view.
    Customer satisfaction is my number one priority.  Any items purchased can be returned within 30 days.  Buyer responsible for return shipping.
