Battle of Puebla

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

This laquered gourd with the Mexican emblem is part of the commemoration of the Battle of Puebla, May 5th, 1862 and a major victory over French invading forces. The painted gourd was collected prior to 1905. 

PAHMA 3-544.
