An excellent vintage hand-carved African Ashanti drum, made of wood in brown color. This drum is an original piece from the Ashanti/Asante (Akan) tribe, with the maker being unknown. It is a unique and cultural piece that showcases intricate craftsmanship and traditional design elements. Perfect for collectors or those interested in African art and ethnographic artifacts. This ceremonial drum from Ghana measures 29″ (74 cm) tall x 12 1/2" (32 cm) diameter, in excellent condition in spite of its age. This was made for tribal use and was used often as evidenced by its patina. Now, it can certainly be modified for musical use but in its current state it is much more decorative than musical.
