Cochiti Pueblo Hand Drum – Signed “Yellowbird,” Wood, Sinew & Hide, 11.5"
This handcrafted Native Americane hand drum, signed “Yellowbird,” is attributed to Gabe Yellowbird, a respected artisan from Cochiti Pueblo, New Mexico. Known for preserving traditional Pueblo craftsmanship, Yellowbird’s drums are celebrated for their quality construction and cultural authenticity. This piece is made from natural wood, taut rawhide, and sinew lacing, showcasing a cross-pattern tension design that is both functional and visually striking. Measuring approximately 3" high x 9" wide x 11.5" with handle, it resonates with the heritage of Southwestern drum-making, where instruments like these hold ceremonial and musical significance. A signed example by a Pueblo artisan, this drum is not only a musical instrument but also a collectible work of Native-inspired art.
Condition:
Excellent condition, with no damage. The rawhide is intact and taut, and the sinew lacing and wood frame show no breaks or repairs. Minimal natural surface wear, consistent with materials and age.
Size:
3" X 9" X 11.5" with Handle
