Beaded Gourd

Two Gourds from George Anthony Waller

My father, George Anthony Waller, passed away in 2023. He was living in a room of his girlfriend’s house and had whittled his personal effects down to only a few special items. He had two gourds with him, which I have to imagine he’d moved from place to place over the years with him, even though they were fairly fragile.

One was about bowling ball sized, with beads around it. Two photos of it follow.

The other is smaller and less round. Two photos of it follow.

I don’t see any photos of the gourds out on display in the condo photos I took in 2007, when Bob and I moved Dad into his condo.

Does anybody have any memories of these gourds?
