Beschreibung : Measures 8 inches in diameter and 35 inches high. This beautiful ceremonial drum is in good condition with wear commensurate with age. Carved from wood with reliefs and topped with a leather skin. Drums are among the most important art forms in Africa, used both as a musical instrument and as a work of sculpture significant in many ceremonial functions, including dance, rituals,story-telling and communication of messages. These drums show the creativity and power they put into functional objects. Bamileke drums, embellished with low reliefcarving of figures, animals and objects show the creativity and power the Bamileke put into functional objects. A wonderful collection piece!
