Mask - Africa (No reserve price)

The arched harp, also called the bent harp or angular harp, is one of the most widespread instruments in equatorial Africa, notably in the regions of the Great Lakes, the Congo, Gabon, and the Central African Republic.

This instrument is distinguished by a rigid curved neck (console or yoke) fitted with a fixed resonator, as well as strings attached to the soundbox and tensioned obliquely up to the neck through a tension system (pegs, frets, etc.).
