Description
Manding, West Africa, mid-20th century.
A beautiful ‘Dununba’ (low-pitched) bronze bell, used in conjunction with the Dundun drum. These bells are usually made of iron. This one, of very fine workmanship, is made of bronze.
The precise alloy of copper and tin gives it a superb bronze tone with a long resonance rich in overtones.
Shiny, smooth, almost polished patina.
H: 28 cm
Weight: 1170 g
