Description :
Antique African drum. We don't have an exact provenance on this lovely drum from East Africa; but we know it is an exquisite piece of craftsmanship. It was carved from a single tree trunk and stained black with geometric designs. It has an animal skin top with a pitch ring in the middle. Measures 31.5" H. Client says that in the 1970s her father remodeled a friend's bathroom - this drum & a couple of sculptures was the payment in lieu of cash. The bathroom's owner lived in Tanzania & Mozambique in the 1960s and taught in a rural area after learning Swahili. The sculptures included in the bathroom "payment" were by the Makonde peoples, but we are not sure if they also made this drum.
