Stone - Carved, Abelam Drum From Papua Guinea. Ex. Michael Hamson Annex




Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:4532
Original Description:
I purchased this drum from the Michael Hamson Annex on ebay back in 2009 for over $600. The certificate provided with the piece notes that it is a "Superb pre-contact, stone carved, 19th century Abelam drum...". As shown in the photographs the drum is nicely carved and shows one area where the drum has been polished smooth where it would have rested on the players leg - a sign of its age and a long period of traditional use. The drum is 34 inches (86.5 cm) in height.
