Description: The Kamango drum is the Chief's drum and is used when a new chief is declared. It is used exclusively for the chief. There is nothing to tell the uninitiated that it was a special drum as it is of the usual shape, if slightly larger than most. The drum was 4.3 inches tall and 17 inches across the head, goblet shaped. Footed Kamango Drum.
