A hand-carved tribal drum, approximately 50cm in height, featuring a hollowed timber body with a stretched animal skin top.

The drum displays a strong sculptural form, including an integrated carved handle and a distinctive ribbed or serrated section along the lower body, adding both visual interest and grip.

The top appears to be stretched animal skin (species unknown), secured over the opening, consistent with traditional construction methods.

Likely originating from Papua New Guinea or surrounding Oceanic regions, this piece carries both decorative and cultural appeal.

Suitable as a display piece, collectible artefact, or for light percussive use.

Condition: Used – aged surface, natural wear, minor losses and imperfections consistent with age and handcrafted origin.
