Regional synonyms

A traditional drinking vessel made from the dried gourd of the jícaro tree, used since pre-Hispanic times across Mesoamerica to drink water, chocolate, chicha, or atole. From the Nahuatl word "xicalli," the jícara is both an everyday utensil and a cultural artifact that survived centuries of history, often hand-painted with regional designs.
