Framed Kalimbas from Zambia

Quite often we get customers bringing us artwork and objects to frame which they’ve collected on their travels overseas, and these kalimbas from Zambia are a great example from 2024.

Left unglazed - as requested by our customer – these handheld musical instruments are also known as ‘thumb pianos’, and are played by plucking the staggered metal tines with your thumbs and forefingers.

We framed them using a natural-looking wooden moulding against a beaujolais red undermount to complement the patterns painted on them.
