About the Item

This Javanese decorative pot in black teak is a former traditional drum transformed into a jar. Hand-carved from solid teak and naturally patinated over time, it retains traces of its original function, including the protrusions once used to stretch the drum skin. Its dark hue and raw texture give it a strong visual presence, perfect for an ethnic or wabi-sabi interior. This unique piece showcases the artisanal and cultural richness of Java, where gamelan drums held ritual and symbolic significance. In excellent condition, the drum pot combines primitive aesthetics with history, offering a second life to an exceptional object. Contact us before ordering to confirm product availability.
