Richly-veined tweneboa wood showcases Ghanaian symbols, carved by hand. The merging symbols nyame dua signify worship and veneration. Hewn from a solid block of wood, this exquisite drum is as beautiful as it is sonorous. The kpanlogo drum is a revered element in the music and culture of the Ga tribe in Ghana's Greater Accra region, marking the rhythm for the traditional kpanlogo dance. However, its characteristic deep, loud sound makes it a popular instrument throughout West Africa. Samuel Coleman crafts and carves the drum by hand, affixing its calfskin drum head to wooden pegs with stout ropes and finishing it with brown and mansion polish. Exalting African rhythms, this exquisite drum makes a delightful addition to any collection.
