content: FROM THE JEAN CARTER LAVE COLLECTION. "I BELIEVE THE GOURD WAS REGLUED BY SOMEONE, PERHAPS JCL IN ERROR. THIS WOULD ACCOUNT FOR THE ANOMALOUS ORIENTATION OF THE GOURD ANGLE TO THE BLOWING HOLE. (SEE OTHER SPECIMENS FOR WHAT THE CORRECT ORIENTATION WOULD BE.) IT WOULD ALSO ACCOUNT FOR THE UNUSUAL GLUE (NOT BLACK RESIN) IN EVIDENCE AT THE JOINT." THE RESONATOR IS MADE FROM A LAGENARIA GOURD, WITH BLACK PAINTED DESIGNS. THE AIRSHAFT IS BAMBOO WITH WOVEN COVERWORK, LIGHT ARROWCANE AND DARK IMBE. THE COVERWORK BINDING IS COTTON. THE SUSPENSION CORD IS TUCUM. THE PENDANTS ARE TUCUM CORD STRUNG WITH AKU BEEDS, DEER HOOF TIPS AND MACAW FEATHERS. ONE PENDANT IS MISSING A FEATHER AND IT'S DEER HOOF TIP. PRICE PAID: UNKNOWN.
