Ancient Bao Mancala board game
Discover the history and strategy of Bao, a traditional mancala-type board game played across East Africa. This antique Bao board is hand-carved from a single solid piece of wood, giving it both the look of a game and that of a typical African wood sculpture.

Bao is one of the oldest games in the world and was played in Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, the Comoros, Malawi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Burundi. At 80 cm long, the board makes an impressive decorative piece for a game room, a desk, a library, or a collection of African art.
