About the Item
Five ceremonial beaded flutes or whistles from the Cameroon grasslands. They come in various geometric forms, taking on the shape of a hollowed, stylized figure that combines human and animal features. Most have a hole or some device to attach a carry strap in a string, cloth or leather. Mouthpiece up the flutes resemble buffalo heads; hanging inverted, they suggest the human form. Whistles are usually tuned to play up to three notes and may be used alone or played in sets to produce a scale. Sound is made when a player blows air across a sharp edge - in this case, between the crescent-shaped ends. This globe has a height of 45 cm.
