Standing Drummer Low-poly 3D model

Nigerian thorn‑wood carving, a distinctive folk‑art form created primarily by the Yoruba people. Crafted from the thorny branches of the wild cotton tree (varieties like ata or egungun), these thorns—naturally red, cream, or brown—are carved into miniature figures depicting everyday Yoruba life.

Description:

Male figure standing upright on a flat rectangular base. The figure wears a short-sleeved tunic and a traditional cap. He holds a cylindrical drum under his left arm, angled outward, with detailed carvings representing the drum’s texture. The figure’s facial features are stylized, with a prominent nose, closed lips, and defined eyes. The carving emphasizes simplicity and form, capturing a moment of cultural significance—likely related to music or ceremony. The wood displays natural variations in tone, enhancing its visual depth.

HIGHPOLY MODEL INCLUDED

HIGH-POLYGON MODEL

In addition to being optimized for VR, AR, and game development, our models are also available in high-polygon versions—making them excellent base assets for 3D printing.

Our high-poly models come as cleaned, watertight FBX files with all mesh artifacts removed, making them ideal for high-quality physical reproduction.

To 3D print these models, you’ll need to convert the FBX file to STL

format, which is a standard step in the printing workflow. This can be done easily using software like Blender, MeshLab, or Autodesk Meshmixer.

Once converted, the model is ready for slicing and printing with your preferred settings and printer.
