Untitled work
Description
Description des éléments : Rhombe constitué d'une lame de bois lancéolée, percée à l'une de ses extrémités. Cet orifice est destiné à y fixer une cordelette afin de pouvoir faire tournoyer le rhombe dans l'air par un large mouvement circulaire du bras tendu au-dessus de la tête. La vitesse de rotation permet au rhombe de tourner également sur lui même, provoquant ainsi un son caractéristique. La taille des lames, variable de 15 à 80 cm, influe aussi sur la hauteur du son émis. Les petites lames donneront un son plus aiguë que les grandes. Décor : Ce rhombe est recouvert sur les deux tiers de sa surface de motifs ornementaux géométriques figurant des symboles totémiques.
