Limba

Limba (Terminalia superba ) is a dark hardwood native to Africa. It is used for making furniture and musical instruments. It is prized for its workability and excellent colour and finish, but is becoming increasingly expensive.


In Haitian Vodun, Limba is a loa who lived among rocks, eating passers-by.
