BAMILEKE STYLE DRUM 3, 41", $600, SOLD, Cameroon

Bamileke drums, embellished with low relief carving of figures, animals and objects show the creativity and power the Bamileke put into functional objects.

The head on this drum is intact, but not really playable. There is one obvious long crack on the back side with a dark native repair.
