Which African society produced musical instruments as artwork? Ancient kingdoms, Ottoman Empire, Nomadic cultures, or Sedentary Farmers?

I believe that it is the Ottoman Empire.

The Ottoman Empire was not an African society. It was centered in Turkey in western Asia and ecompassed parts of Asia and Europe.

Process of elimination:

~~Ancient kingdoms - possibly - depending on which one(s) you're referring to - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_India (not in Africa); http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_egypt (?); http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_greece (not in Africa)

~~Ottoman Empire - no - not in Africa

~~Nomadic cultures - possibly - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomadic

~~Sedentary Farmers - no - this term is oxymoronic! Farmers don't sit around to do their jobs; they are very active people
