Chordophone Vtg African String Musical Instrument Vtg 3 Neck Wood Leather Shell

Description

Here's a handmade instrument: wood necks, leather (unknown animal) top, gourd (?) body, and shell pieces where tuning pegs would be. There are two slits in the leather on the lower part of the body -- no idea if something's missing or what those are for. Because I don't know what the original condition was, and whether this is decor or playable, it's being sold as-is. As always, I offer 30-day returns at buyer's expense, but condition is as shown in the photos. Size is about 23" high x 8 1/2" across the top x about 3 1/2" deep.
Please feel free to ask any questions.
I'm happy to take returns within 30 days at buyer's expense. Item must be in the identical condition as when received, without cleaning, alterations, or further wear. I don't take partial returns or offer partial refunds.
International sales may incur additional customs fees or VAT taxes that I have no knowledge of or control over. These are the responsibility of the buyer -- sellers aren't notified of these charges.
Fine Print: recently I've had interactions with several nonpaying bidders, and with buyers who don't understand Ebay's returns process or how the bidding works. Should you need assistance, I'm more than happy to answer questions or help you find them from EBay. Here are my requests of buyers:
-- please ask any questions at all, l
eaving enough time for me to answer them
-- check the cost of shipping
prior to
bidding. Shipping can add quite a bit to the final price
-- if there are problems with your item after you receive it, please contact me! Leaving complaints in feedback doesn't help anyone, and I want to make the transaction good for both of us
Thank you so much for looking!
