Description
A few of my collection of Ipu instruments against a backdrop of lauhala. These Hawaiian musical instruments are made from hollowed out gourds. They are slapped or pounded on the floor or other surface to make the rhythm of a drum.
Light brown is the natural color of a gourd, but many are dyed red or dark brown and polished to a high gloss. Others are also carved with tapa and other designs representative of the Hawaiian culture.
Mele Kalikimaka translates in English to Merry Christmas.
The artist, Mary Deal, is also an award-winning author of mystery/thrillers, a short story collection and writers' reference books. Read about it here:
