<meta charset="UTF-8" />Head of a huge Vanuatu slit drum made of breadfruit. The slit drums of Ambrym Island are still used today to communicate within villages and to set the rhythm for traditional dances on the dance square called "Nasara". These majestic shapes, typical of Ambrym Island, have made these totem drums one of the strong symbols of this region of the South Pacific. Evocation of curved pig teeth (symbol of prosperity) under this stylized face. Totem sculpture mounted on a base to be displayed indoors. Approx. 230 x 38 x 43 cm / €3,000 / Shipping costs: €200 for France / EU €500 / USA €1,000.
