This large ritual drum is handmade in our workshop in Finland. The drum membrane is Finnish moose rawhide, which has been dyed with natural water-based dyes. The figure has been handpainted with acrylic paint. The frame is bent from birch plywood, dyed with water-based dye and waxed with wood wax. The mooseskin gives the drum a great sound and it works well for playing and treatments.
The drum depicts a mythological deer with a griffin's beak and a deer's horns decorated with griffin heads. It is known as the "ice princess tattoo" because it was found in an ancient tomb, tattooed on the shoulder of a dignified woman.
The price includes a drum stick, which may differ in color and shape from the mallet in the picture. The drum comes with care and consecration instructions.
