Description: Yaka Slit Gong Drum 17" Tall. Condition is Pre-owned. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail. Drums are among the most important art forms in Africa, used both as a musical instrument and as a work of sculpture significant in many ceremonial functions, including dance, rituals, story-telling and communication of messages. This beautiful slit gong drum features a traditional coif typically represented by the Yaka tribes of the Congo.
