Cultural context & artisan story
The djembe is the goblet shaped hand drum of West Africa, traditionally carved from a single piece of wood and topped with an animal skin head. This small Ghanaian version dresses the drum in Kente patterned cloth, the celebrated strip woven textile of Ghana, and adds a hand carved lion, a symbol of strength.

Product description
Overview
A small handmade Ghanaian djembe drum, 24cm tall with a 15cm drumhead. The carved wooden body carries a hand carved lion motif around the base, the bowl is wrapped in Kente patterned cloth, and the natural animal skin head is tensioned with traditional cord lacing, with a braided cord loop for hanging. It is made for light drumming, cultural displays, gifts and African inspired decor rather than performance volume. Handmade in Nsawam, Ghana by Ancient Culture, so every drum is cut, carved and skinned by hand and no two are identical. A lovely first drum for a child, a desk piece for an office, or a gift that carries a story.
