Drum Taos Style

Taos Style Cottonwood Drum

You will get a unique sound with this double-headed Drum Taos Style!   The craftsman used cottonwood for the frame and bound rawhide rounds at either end with rawhide lace. The lacing is knotted in a single spot. He or she painted the frame with yellow and white.  The rawhide remains natural.  There is no handle.  One of a Kind!

This Drum stands 8.25 inches tall. The heads measure approximately 9 inches x 10 inches (it is not perfectly round).  We got this Drum from a collection.  It is in very good, usable condition.  One of a Kind!
