THIS AMAZING ANTIQUE HAND CARVED AFRICAN "DISTRESSED BUFFALO" HUNTING DRUM (I'M NOT TOO SURE WHAT IT IS ACTUALLY CALLED) DATES BACK TO THE 1800's AND WAS USED BY AFRICAN HUNTERS TO ATTRACT BUFFALO (MUCH LIKE A DUCK WHISTLE). THE "DRUM" HAS A WOODEN ROD IN THE CENTRE OF IT THAT ONE WOULD NEED TO WET AND THEN PULL ON IT SO THAT IT MAKES THE SOUND OF A DISTRESSED OR WOUNDED BUFFALO. A HERD OF BUFFALO HAVE THE HABIT OF TAKING CARE OF A WOUNDED BUFFALO SO WHEN THEY HEAR THE DISTRESSED CALLING, THEY GO TOWARDS THE SOUND, AND ESSENTIALLY THE HUNTERS. THE DRUM MEASURES ROUGHLY 44cm TALL x 18cm WIDE.
