Native Amrican Deer Hide Drum

Description

Native , deerskin drum. This was an item I acquired from the estate of a prominent Native American artist. I don't really know the history, age or exact origins beyond that. It measures approximately 11" across and 3" deep. It has what appears to be deer skin drum heads on both sides. Nice and taught with a good sound. Looks like a sisal rope is holding the skins together.
