Pyroengravings

Pyrography means "writing with fire", from the Greek "pur" (fire) and "graphos" (writing). Practiced by a number of circular cultures including the Egyptians and some African people since a long time this art form probably dates back to prehistory, when early humans created designs using the charred remains of their fires. It's traditional in some parts of Europe. The butylated and burned gourd is a millenary art practiced by Peruvian communities. Some folk artists and Brazilian indigenous also uses pirygraphy to decorate gourds, maracas, instruments and many other objects.
