BOURE, DRUM 1, 12", $300, Ivory Coast
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.
Both heads on this drum is intact but with one small hole in each, not really playable.
