Description: Ralph Agudze titles this djembe drum Awisome, meaning "in their hands" in the Ewe language. An instrument whose origins may be found in the Ivory Coast, its rhythms often accompany ceremonies of ritual importance. The body is carved from sturdy and resonant tweneboa wood, adorned with mesmerizing rings of black. Agudze stretches goatskin across the top, as iron rod rings keep the drumhead taut. The rings are wrapped in cotton cloth to prevent rusting. Agudze also comments that the drum features and Adinkra symbol called Dwan Nin Amen, meaning the "horns of the ram."
