<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 8254289, member: 8267&quot;]The sort of moldy appearance is what gourds look like when they have come from the field and air dried, but before they have been cleaned. The first step in most gourd art is to soak and scrub the gourd to remove such discoloration. I suspect in this case the gourd was left in a more &quot;natural&quot; state to make it look older, or the artist(s) just liked the effect.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
