This drum has been vetted as authentic, with signs of significant age and use.

The head on this drum is playable but cannot be tuned. There are two rattles on the top and metal straps and upolstery tacks around the bottom.

The most common and popular drums in west Africa, djembes are distinguished by their simple but elegant shapes and powerful sound. New examples can be tightened and tuned by tying the lines together.
