Good to know — handmade product
Each pair is handmade. Totumo gourds don't grow perfectly round, and slight variations or small marks in the finish are natural to the artisan process — character, not defects.
On palo atravesado models the handle passes through the gourd rather than being fixed to it, so the gourd has a little intentional play — that slight movement is by design and is part of how the maraca resonates.
