This small ritual drum is handmade in our workshop in Finland. The drum membrane is Finnish reindeer rawhide, which is first dyed with natural water-based dyes and then painted by hand with acrylic paints. The frame is bent from birch plywood, dyed with water-based dye and waxed with wood wax.
The drum depicts the Venus of Willendorf, a statue from the Stone Age, which depicts a naked woman in sumptuous form. The Abundant Goddess has been a symbol of survival and an ideal of beauty.
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.
