"Woez(o) to Xorlali. Beautiful djembe drum."

I purchased this hand-carved djembe drum which is both a work of art and an amazing musical instrument. My daughter lived in Ghana in a village called Xavi for two years. When we visited we were part of a celebration that included drumming and dancing. I am thrilled to have a drum of my own to bring to a local drum circle.The artist said that in making the drum he thought only of making people smile. He has succeeded. I am smiling and hope to share the joy. Thank you.

"Beautiful, but arrived damaged"

The mask is wonderful, but it arrived with a chip on the face. I can repair it, but it is sad to see such a nice work arriving damaged.
