Item Details

Description

Bronze â€œmoko drums” are an important part of the culture on the small Indonesian island of Alor. Despite its small size, seventy languages are found on Alor, making it difficult for people who live a mere 15 miles away to communicate with each other. On this island a male who wishes to marry must present a moko drum to the family of his future wife. Since there is a severe shortage of these drums many couples must leave the island to marry or remain single. Stylized heads surround the handles on this piece. 19 inches x 11.5 inches
