  • Condition: Good vintage/preowned condition. The center gourd seems to have some 'play' or 'movement', which I suspect is by design, but the top and bottom ones are fixed tightly (with some sort of resin/glue?). I didn't find any splits or cracks in the gourds. Attractive display piece, but also very functional - provides a somewhat soothing sound. As I am listing, I am playing it while listening to Neil Young's Harvest Moon and it's a perfect accompaniment!
  • Country/Region of Manufacture: Ghana

    Description

    Estate purchase, as found.  Prior owners seemed to have travelled extensively throughout Asia, India and Africa as the estate was full of relics and souvenirs from their travels.  About 12" long with the largest gourd measuring about 7.5" circumference.
