Native American Hyde & Wood Drum with Beater – Woven Handle
This is a traditionally made Native American hand drum, constructed from natural hyde and carved wood with classic laced-side construction. It features a woven rawhide handle for easy carrying or hanging, and is paired with its original padded beater—formed from a wooden stick with a soft leather-wrapped head. A silver mark on the side of the wooden frame likely denotes the store or cooperative where the drum was originally sold. The form, materials, and method are consistent with traditional Native American craftwork, likely from the Southwest or Plains region, though no specific tribal attribution is confirmed.
Condition:
In good condition with signs of use. Some wear and tonal variation to the hyde surface; no structural damage. Lacing is secure, and the drumhead remains playable.
Dimensions:
Drum (including handle): 15 x 12.5 inches
Depth: 6.5 inches
Beater length: 13 inches
(Campbell’s soup can shown for scale; not included.)
