What Is It?
- Tribal Art?
- long-neck or giraffe tribal art looks to be musical instrument?
I have an item that I have been seeking information about for quite some time. It looks like it could have been a drum. The reason I say that is due to the tiny holes along the rim at the bottom.
Looks hand made. African, Thailand not sure what it represents.
Details:
Could be folk Art from Bali, Indonesia, Thailand Asia Africa and some other culture who practice the decoration of multiple neck rings to decorate a stretched neck.
This “long-neck” or “giraffe” tribal art looks to be musical instrument, drum or headdress?
This folk art Artifact looks to be hand carved, and painted at one time. 
Measures approx. 2 feet tall.
Looks old and used.
Hand carved out of a soft wood, maybe balsa wood?
It is a tribal Drum? Note the holes around the rim
Has small holes at the bottom all around the bottom.
The bottom is hallowed out.
Decorative carving of faces on the outside.
Would appreciate any response via email if you know what this is or any information.

What tribe?
Value pricing or a great place to research.
