Mancala is the classic game of Africa that could well be the oldest board game in the world. This beautifully hand carved, authentic set makes an elegant sculptural piece when not in use. It closes on a hinge, and the top is hand carved with the Adinkra "Gye Nyame" symbol, representing faith and eternity. Included are 48 nautral bonduc seeds, the amount needed for a game of Mancala or Oware. Each is an original, authentic handicraft.• 16"L x 2.5"W x 2.5"H when closed.• Hand Carved Wood with Natural Bonduc Seeds• Closes on a hinge. Included are 48 nautral bonduc seeds. • Themba is the Zulu word for "Hope", and each item in this collection is handcrafted by artisans in Africa as a sustainable way to support their family and community. Each is responsibly and sustainably sourced at a living wage from African craftsmen. Because of the genuinely handcrafted nature of each piece, no two are exactly alike, and minor imperfections are part of the authentic nature of these non-manufactured items.
