Product Description
Decorative motifs appear in white adding cheer to the darkness of tweneboah wood. They adorn a djembe drum by Ernestina Oppong Asante. The abstract motif at the base is Gye Nyame an Adinkra symbol highly regarded in Ghana; its rotating form means I fear none except God. Adinkra symbols communicate popular wisdom. This traditional percussion instrument is finished with mansion polish. The goatskin head is affixed by iron rings wrapped in cotton and a macrame cord can be slung over the shoulder. The djembe originated in Benin where it is used during voodoo rites and has been introduced into neighboring countries such as Ghana.
