2006 Indigenous Art, Musical Instruments

Indigenous Art

“Musical Instruments of Africa” is the theme of the third issue of the Indigenous Art Series that began in 2003.

The stamps from the Offices in Geneva, Switzerland, show a bronze bell from Benin, a carved drum from Swaziland, a wood-and-metal sanza from the Congo, instruments from Cape Verde, a caixixi made out of a gourd from Ghana, and brass bells from twentieth-century Central Africa.
