Vintage NATIVE AMERICAN 17 Inch Hoop Drum Hand Painted Rawhide Cottonwood Frame 1993 Signed

This handsome double-sided hoop drum made of rawhide laced and stretched over a dark-stained cottonwood frame was handmade in 1993 and signed by Native American artist CMR. The hand painted design of a feather headdress on the front is surrounded by a narrow black line, with the artist's initials and 93 beneath it; the back of the drum is plain. The drum has a twisted rawhide handle which makes it easy to hang for display. Two strips of suede are looped around the handle; they're decorated with turquoise, white and black glass beads and small brown feathers. This is a large, heavy drum, measuring 17 inches across, 3 1/2 inches deep and weighing 3 pounds, 3 ounces. Found in North Carolina, it is in excellent condition, having been well-protected for the last 30 years. There are no cracks, breaks, stains or other damage or wear. The artwork is beautifully done, making this a Native American piece you'll be proud to own and display. © PrimpingYourHome.com Visit our website at https://www.primpingyourhome.com/ PYH 5547
