Description

17" Tarahumara Terracotta Drum with Sinew Lacing & Wood Stand

Echoing the living rhythms of northern Mexico’s Sierra Madre, this Tarahumara terracotta drum embodies the artistry and spirit of the Rarámuri people. Hand-shaped from earthen clay and bound with sinew cords, it rests atop a rustic wooden stand crafted from natural branches. The surface reveals textured impressions and smoke-fired tones, giving each piece its own distinct character — no two are ever quite alike.

Condition:
Good overall, with a visible chip to the rim and a crack as shown. Surface wear consistent with age and use.

Dimensions:
Overall: 17" height x 13" diameter
Weight: 11 lbs
Soup can shown for scale.
