For your bidding pleasure in this lot are two primitive African musical instruments. The first is a Djembe. A Djembe is a goblet-shaped drum, covered with skin and tuned by ropes; the djembe originates from West Africa and has been traced to the Numu. The musical instrument spread across the west coast of Africa with the rise of the Mali Empire (1230 AD). This drum is 22" tall and 6" across the "head". On the bottom of the drum is some damage that was repaired. The next instrument is a Kora. This stringed instrument is made from a calabash gourd and covered in skin. A Kora is usually strummed in accompaniment to storytelling, or singing, and has been in use for over 5000 years. It is extensively used in western and eastern Africa. There are several versions of it across Africa, like the lute, ngoni, gonje, and more. The belly is approximately 10 1/2" x 10 1/2"; the dual necks extend 10 1/2" out from the belly. On the back of the calabash is a patch made of pitch. These instruments are in fair to poor display condition.
