Imagine: on a wooden sidetable, next to a softly glowing lamp and a stack of art books, stands this green clay Darbuka. Its glossy surface subtly catches the light, while the imperfect rope structure around the top rim whispers a story of use, travel, and time. This is no ordinary object – this is a piece with soul.
This handmade Darbuka (20 x 20 x 35.5 cm) combines the recognizable vase-shaped body with a deep, rich green glaze. Originally a traditional percussion instrument from North Africa, the Arab world, and Eastern Europe, but here presented as authentic decoration that resonates both visually and emotionally.
An art object with character and history
The slightly weathered strings around the top edge reveal its past. They are not perfect – and that is precisely where their strength lies. This Darbuka has a subtle “chip off”, typical of De Tuin Der Kunsten's selection: honest, lived-in, and unique.
For those who appreciate quality and authenticity:
Material: clay with glaze
Dimensions: 20 x 20 x 35.5 cm
Origin: traditionally inspired
Condition: authentic, with visible signs of use
This is not mass production, but a carefully curated object with its own story.
More than decoration – a tangible experience
For those sensitive to atmosphere: this Darbuka brings a calm, grounding energy to a space. The combination of form, color, and texture creates a subtle connection between materials – wood, textile, ceramics – thus creating a sense of harmony.
For those who love expression: this object attracts attention without shouting. It is different from the norm, a conversation starter with cultural depth.
For those seeking assurance: despite the imperfection of the strings, the sound quality and structural integrity are maintained. This piece is valuable both visually and functionally.
