The subject of the photo is Alba Clemente but I think the highlight is what appears to be a huge Polynesian slit drum. So what can you experts tell me... This is a slit drum right? Where is it from? It looks similar to the Scared Drums of Ambrym on page 416 in A. Meyer's Oceanic Art book but this one has a much more defined head. And lastly, where can I get one for my living room..
