I visited Peru last year and made the mistake of not purchasing one of these hats. Thank heaven for Novica and their support for artisans! I finally got the hat I wished I had gotten when in Peru.
This drum is a perfect size, the handle makes it easy to transport. The carving is exquisite and the material that is wrapped around adds a true African flair. Beautiful and sturdy, will last a lifetime. And of course, it sounds wonderful.
