The Akan Drum is a drum that was made in West Africa and was later found in the Colony of Virginia in North America. It is now the oldest African-American object in the British Museum and possibly the oldest surviving anywhere. The drum is a reminder of all three continents' involvement in the estimated twelve million people transported across the Atlantic Ocean as part of the transatlantic slave trade. The drum is normally displayed in Room 26, the North American gallery, in the British Museum.

  • Die Akantrommel (englisch Akan drum) ist eine in Westafrika auf dem Territorium des heutigen Ghana vom Volk der Akan hergestellte einfellige Bechertrommel, die heute im British Museum aufbewahrt wird. Es wird vermutet, dass sie im Zuge des Sklavenhandels nach Nordamerika, in das Gebiet West-Virginias, kam. Die Anfang des 18. Jahrhunderts gefertigte Trommel gilt als das älteste afroamerikanische Ausstellungsstück des Museums und ist wahrscheinlich die älteste noch erhaltene Trommel Afrikas. Sie repräsentiert zudem das Spannungsverhältnis der drei Kontinente. (de)
  • El tambor akan es un tambor que se fabricó en África Occidental y luego se encontró en la colonia de Virginia en América del Norte.
