Flute / whistle Marka, Burkina Faso
300€
A very beautiful abstract shape flute, tapered, narrowing towards the end, with very simple lines, but its design is very successful. At the end a transverse hole to pass the fixing cord still present. Beautiful nuanced patina, reddish brown, shiny. Slight lack on the mouthpiece.
This type of whistle accompanies in particular initiation ceremonies and agrarian festivals, and is also used for hunting.
