DINGA, DRUM 1, 31.5", $400, Uganda
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.
The snakeskin head on this drum is intact, and playable, though fragile and with 2 tiny tears along the top rim.
