This Nyamezi game board from Tanzania features a series of carved circular pits arranged in rows on a long, rectangular wooden base. Traditionally, seeds or small objects are placed in each pit as tokens for strategic play. Carved from a single piece of wood, the board serves as both a form of entertainment and a social activity within Nyamezi communities, fostering interaction and community bonding.
 
The Nyamezi people, an ethnic group from central Tanzania, are known for their craftsmanship in woodcarving and metalwork. Their culture values community and social interaction, which is reflected in their art and traditional board games that serve as both entertainment and a means of bringing people together.
