About the Item

This size M Javanese drum pot, hand-carved from solid black teak, is a rare ethnic piece once used as a traditional musical instrument. Its dark patina and original wooden protrusions—once used to tighten the drum skin—now serve as refined decorative details. A true reflection of Javanese craftsmanship, this transformed drum embodies the spirit of the gamelan, Indonesia’s emblematic ensemble music. Its raw texture and sculptural form give it a timeless presence, ideal for showcasing a palm or an indoor tropical plant. With its wabi-sabi and ethnic aesthetic, this black teak pot blends natural beauty with cultural heritage. Contact us before ordering to confirm product availability.
