'Bubinga' Guibourtia demeusei) wood shell terminating at the distal end in three carved out triangles, their apexes resting on a black-painted circular foot. There is a lateral grove cut around the body about two thirds of the way down with a black painted band immediately above. The top rim has a rounded profile.The hide membrane covers this chamfer and is secured immediately beneath by a concealed hoop. This is laced with a blue plastic cord, which descends in four vertical twisted arms to a twisted red sinew secondary hoop, which is positioned a short way down the body. The lacing is tensioned by four wooden wedges driven under the secondary hoop from above. | Publisher: | http://www.horniman.ac.uk/ | Subjects: | sinew wood drums (membranophones) Funeral in West Cameroon drums skin | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | oai:oai.horniman.ac.uk:object-101706 |
