This old Mancala board originates from Nigeria, where the game is traditionally known by the Tiv people as Ache. Carved entirely by hand from dense indigenous hardwood, it carries a deep cultural heritage rooted in West African storytelling and community tradition.

The rich timber bears gorgeous signs of time, developing a deep, soulful patina from decades of competitive play. Style it with polished river stones or foraged pebbles to honour its authentic setup, or display its raw form solo as a standalone piece of functional gallery art.
