This frog 'drum' comes with a playing stick and fleece lilypad-shaped pouch for easy storing. In Vietnam - the wooden frog has taken on an important role. Around the world - it's warm - wood-on-wood call reminds people of summer nights and favorite watering holes. To the artisans that carve each frog by hand - detail by detail - the frog means business. A proud livelihood is earned by the 'carvers' of the jack fruit wood. Fruit trees provide a renewable source of raw material as old trees of fruit farms are replaced by more productive young trees. HOW TO PLAY: Create a croaking sound by lightly dragging the fat end of the stick on the ridges on the back of the frog. Listen for different sounds in different directions. frog: 3 1/4'' x 2 1/2'' stick: 4 3/4'' pouch: 7'' x 7''
