About this piece
A shorter harp, with a narrow brown body and a small carved figure at the top.
Zaramo makers of Tanzania, East Africa, made this harp in wood in the early 20th century. East African harps are commonly used to accompany songs and storytelling. This one has a long, shallow body with a small carved figure at one end, framed by a hollow sounding board. The wood is warm brown and dull, with a faint reddish color at the neck. It is mounted on a stand.
About 21 inches tall. Good for a corner you want to enliven.
