Description
These are both entertaining and a unique decor piece. Vintage taarija or bongo drums labeled handmade in Morocco. The larger drum is 6" across; the smaller is 3-3/4" across. The stand just over 7" high. There is chipping in the glaze around the bottom of the drums, but it could be from producing as there is no discoloration. Skins and bindings are very taut. There is a line that looks like a crack around the larger drum. In looking at it through a magnifying glass, it may be a mark from being bound together while being painted and the binding was being applied, and I do not feel a crack in the clay.
