This is a fabulous old Decorative Drum from the Siassi (Umboi) Island of
Papua New6 Guinea. The decorative style reveals the influence of the
Siassi islands and the North Coast of New Guinea. The tall,
hourglass-shaped body of the single-headed drum is carved in brown, hard
wood and decorated withBlack paint with elaborate and fine
abstract-geometric reliefs from the center to the sides. An elegant
arched handle is on the side and another handle with a crest-like
decorative section on it and all made from a single piece of wood. Kundu
is the name given to Hand Drums used in New Guinea.There are literally
hundreds of different types of these fascinating musical instruments as
most New Guinea tribes have a style of their own. This drum is old and
it has no lizard skin. The Monito lizard skins on the heads of drums are now on
the endangered specie list.This is a magnificent old drum in color,
design and style and would be a wonderful addition to your collection or
to your home. Show age and use.
