Bring an organic, rhythmic texture to your home decor with this authentic vintage East African tribal hand drum. Handcrafted in the mid-to-late 20th century, this traditional "Ngoma" style drum is made from a single hollowed-out block of native hardwood entirely wrapped in natural, unshaved cowhide.
The drum features an incredible display of traditional craftsmanship, featuring a dense, intricately hand-woven pattern of hide lacing along the sides. It makes a beautiful standalone sculptural accent for a shelf, mantel, or side table, bringing a warm, global vintage vibe to any space.
