Vintage Handcarved Wooden African Mancala or Owari Game


Hand carved wooden traditional African pit and pebble or mancala game. This variant is usually known as wari or owari but there are variants with different names from around the world.  This is two long hinged wooden sections with six pits in each and 48 seeds, although there are four seeds missing but these can be easily replaced with pebbles.One side is carved with a simple leaf design, the other plain. It is not latched. There's some age related wear but otherwise it's in very good condition.
