Ukeke
Description
Ukeke (strikers) are used with other instruments, in particular gongs but also some drums. They are carved from tree branches and are most likely produced by the Igbesamwan.
Interestingly, in comparison to gongs and drums, there are relatively few strikers known today in institutional collections.
