A Fine Yoruba Talking Drum Player African Art

Item Details

Description

This is a charming old sculpture from the Yoruba of Nigeria, West Africa. The Image of a Musician playing the talking drum or "Dun Dun" drum, with his conical parade hat and strap over the shoulder and under the arm to support the drum. The tension cords of the drum have been accented with kaolin clay pigment. I rarely see images such as this available anymore. A Good Vintage example. The statue has been professionally mounted to a wooden base. The sculpture itself measures 13 inches tall.

Condition

Overall well handled and worn, Good condition.
