Item details
- Instrument material
- Brass
The drum’s back features a radial lacing system of coarse, light beige natural fiber cord that converges at a central hub wrapped in turquoise, royal blue, red, and white threads, forming a star-like geometric pattern. Five tassels hang from the lower rim, each made with braided cords in teal and blue, natural feathers in mottled brown, grey, and white, and thin strips of iridescent blue ribbon or metallic thread. Two hand-pounded beaters are included, each with a pale, smooth animal bone handle and a fur-covered striking head in a gradient of grey, silver, and white. One beater carries a small antique brass bell near the fur base; the other has a handle wrapped in greenish-brown twine set with two dark, polished gemstones. Loose, frayed yarns in olive, rust, and cream finish the bottom ends of the bone handles.

A closer look
This shamanic hand drum features a circular frame with a specified diameter of 40 centimeters, constructed using a traditional pure hand-wrapping technique that explicitly excludes the use of nails. The striking surface is composed of top-layer yellow cowhide, presenting a warm, golden-brown hue with natural variations in tone and subtle textural grain visible across the membrane. The back of the drum displays a radial lacing system made of coarse, light beige natural fiber cord, which extends from the perimeter to a central decorative hub. This central junction is intricately wrapped in multicolored threads featuring shades of turquoise, royal blue, red, and white, forming a star-like geometric pattern that secures the tension of the hide.
The perimeter of the drum frame is finished with a folded edge of dark brown leather, creating a distinct border against the lighter drumhead. Suspended from the lower rim are five decorative tassels, each attached via braided cords in varying shades of teal and blue. These hanging elements incorporate natural feathers with mottled brown, grey, and white plumage, interspersed with thin strips of iridescent blue ribbon or metallic thread that add reflective highlights to the dangling ornaments. The overall aesthetic combines organic materials with precise, symmetrical craftsmanship typical of ritual instruments.
Accompanying the drum are two hand-pounded beaters designed with unique, rustic handles crafted from pale, smooth animal bone. The striking heads of these beaters are enveloped in dense, soft fur displaying a gradient of grey, silver, and white tones. One beater is adorned with a small, antique brass bell secured near the base of the fur, while the other features a handle wrapped in greenish-brown twine embedded with two dark, polished gemstones. The bottom ends of the bone handles are decorated with loose, frayed yarns in muted earth tones of olive, rust, and cream, providing a tactile contrast to the smooth bone shafts.
The construction emphasizes a seamless integration of natural components, where the tension of the cowhide is managed entirely through the woven cordage rather than mechanical fasteners. The visual relationship between the taut, translucent quality of the drumhead and the plush, voluminous texture of the fur-covered beaters creates a balanced composition of hard and soft surfaces. The color palette remains cohesive, linking the amber tones of the hide with the cool blues of the lacing and the neutral greys of the bone and fur accessories.
Scale cues provided by the human hand holding the instrument indicate a manageable, handheld size appropriate for individual ceremonial use. The lighting interaction highlights the sheen on the polished gemstones and the brass bell, as well as the matte finish of the rawhide and the fibrous texture of the lacing cords. Every element, from the specific 40cm dimension to the material composition of top-layer cowhide and bone, reflects a specialized design intended for functional and spiritual applications without reliance on mass-produced industrial parts.
