African Mancala Board

African Mancala BoardMancala, which originated in East Africa, has been played for thousands of years. The aim of the game is to capture pieces in the opponents cups, and it only ends once all the cups of one player are empty when its their turn to play. This vintage board from the Ivory Coast bears the indents of the seeds and stones used by generations of players. Its characterful carvings are considered by the Baule tribe to give objects a spiritual charge. Please
