<meta charset="UTF-8" />Large Vanuatu breadfruit slit drum. Ambrym Island slit drums are still used today to communicate within villages and to set the rhythm for traditional dances on the dance square known as "Nasara". These majestic shapes, typical of the island of Ambrym, have made these totem drums one of the strongest symbols of this South Pacific region. The stylized face evokes the curved teeth of pigs (a symbol of prosperity). Totem sculpture for indoor or outdoor display, mounted on base. Traces of use. Approx. 235 x 27 x 24 cm / 1500€ on base. Postage 200€ for France / Eu 300€ / USA 500€.
