MAKONDE, GAMEBOARDS (Mankala) (Mancala, Wari), Tanzania
Makonde gameboards range from everyday objects with monumental, simple forms to ornate pieces bringing status to the owner. They all show the creativity and power Africans put into functional objects. Two have double heads similar to the better known Makonde helmet masks.
