    Below are photos of what appears to be a drum and two woven purses that were given to me by a client as a gift at work. They appear to have belonged to a tribe of some origin, be it African, Native American, or any other for that matter. I'm not sure where for certain and I'd like to know the approximate age or history behind it.

    Not sure it's a drum, but I can tell you it is most likely from the Ifugao, or a neighboring tribe, in the Philippines, based on the bamboo, and on the style of the woven pouches.
