Imperial mate gourds are some of the most sought-after pieces in the yerba mate world. And our CIELO Imperials are all carefully handcrafted and imported directly from Argentina. These works of art feature designs on both the ferrule (metal strap) and virola (metal rim), while a smooth black-stained leather encases the calabash. Capacity is small-to-medium.
It’s recommended you cure your gourd before use. (The size and shape of each gourd varies from the pictures shown as no two gourds are the same – some are larger, some are smaller. The design of the rim may also vary, but will all contain two bronze appliques)
Dimensions (approx.): 3.7 x 4.5 in.
