Note:
With the high cost of shipping many of our customers choose to ship by USPS. For small and light shipments this is usually less expensive, but please be aware that their estimates are often wrong and their service can be very slow (sixteen days for Priority Mail from Philadelphia to New York City recently). The service is not always as economical as it may appear, particularly on larger or more valuable shipments. USPS estimates only include insurance up to $100 for its domestic shipments. If you ask for full insurance we will recalculate the shipping cost and send you an invoice for any difference in cost. For overseas shipments USPS will not insure for over $650. On request we can get estimates for overseas shipping from DHL.

Dambala Wedo "Kwi" Calabash Gourd by André Pierre
SKU: APR-2001

Oil paint on "kwi" gourd (13” h. x 10 3/4” w. x 5” d.). Completed January 17, 2004.
Provenance: Collection of Nancy Josephson. Nancy watched André Pierre paint this "kwi" and purchased it from him in 2004. She believes it was probably the last of these gourd paintings that he made. He passed away the following year. The crack on the left side occurred as the gourd dried. Although Andre Pierre painted these paintings of the Vodou "loa" deities throughout his career., they are now comparatively rare.
