‍
Handcrafted for Spiritual Rhythm and Sacred Fire These red-painted gourds are a key ritual item in Bwiti ceremonies, used to carry rhythm, channel energy, and invoke ancestral presence. Coated in sacred red pigment — the color of fire, blood, and transformation — each gourd is carefully dried and hand-colored in the village, then sealed with a symbolic loop for holding or hanging. In ceremony, the red gourd is often used as:
‍
• A rattle or shaker in the Ngoma rhythm
• A protective talisman placed near the fire
• A symbolic container of the spirit flame Each piece is unique, imbued with intention, and prepared in accordance with Bwiti custom. Not decorative.

For spiritual use only.
