Description:
From Mali.
Drums are a traditional African musical instrument. The entire
instrument is hand made. The drum surface is leather made from
animal hide/skin and the base is made of sturdy carved wood,
encircled with plain or braided rope. Some have designs etched
into the base, as well as fabric trim along the top. These drums
are popular in reggae and other cultural musical productions.
In West Africa, nearly all ceremonies are accompanied by the
timeless and distinctive melody of drums. Approx. 16-18" tall,
8-10" diameter.
