Description
This is an Early 20th Century Drinking Cup Made From a Gourd. It is Called a Yerba Mate and is From Argentina. Yerba Mate is a Traditional Herbal Tea From Central and South America. The Crushed Leaves are Steeped in Hot Water, and it is Traditionally Drunk Through a Special Type of Straw Called a Bombilla. It is Supposed to be a Very Healthy Drink, But Does Taste Rather Bitter.

The Stalk of the Gourd Has an Attached Stand and a Top Surmounted by a Bird. A Carved Word 'Recuerbo' Which Means Memory is on One Side.
