Diameter 30 cm / 12 inches Weight 888 grams (Solid & Heavy) Origin African Tribal Artisan 💎 Condition Report
Authentic vintage condition with visible signs of age that enhance its primitive character. The board features a natural age-related split (crack) in the wood, extending from the carved border into the play area (as shown in high-resolution photos). This is common in solid hardwood artifacts from this region due to natural expansion and contraction over decades. The board remains structurally sound and held firmly together by the original vintage metal screw reinforcements on the reverse. Beautiful aged patina throughout.
