Robert K. Ghartey celebrates African musical traditions with this spectacular djembe drum. He carves it by hand from local tweneboa wood, which he decorates with the image of a proud lion overlooking his kingdom. Ghartey uses cotton twine for the upper part, which includes a goat hide drumhead secured by iron rings.

A hand carved tiger prowling on a decorative ring forms the base of this handcrafted djembe drum designed by Daniel Asante of Ghana. The drum and tiger base are made of Tweneboa wood painted brown, with accents in dark red, cream, and blue on the tiger and base ring. Bull skin is used to create the drum head, held in place with an iron ring covered in red cotton. Black cotton cord accents the body of the drum and forms a carrying handle. The drum can be played and will also make an eye-catching conversation piece.
