This hand drum, collected on the banks of the Sepik River in Papua New Guinea, has a beautiful patina of use. Entirely engraved with tribal designs depicting totemic plants and animals. Hand drums, or "kundus," are highly symbolic for the Papuans because they embody the voice of their ancestors and are difficult to acquire. Made of natural wood and pigments. Some signs of use. A small chip on the lower part. Approx. 69 x 23 x 21 cm / €750 including shipping.
