Authentic Ceremonial Tarahumara Wood Drum used in Semana Santa Ceremony

A Special Opportunity - Like a highly-valued cultural museum piece, this is an

Authentic, Primitive Drum with imperfections that show it's age and use, giving it

unique character!

A Highly-Valued Cultural Piece suitable for a Museum!

This Authentic Ceremonial Drum is a Unique, One-of-a-Kind piece acquired directly

from the Tarahumara Drummer who used it at the Semana Santa Ceremony!

Tarahumara Ceremonial Drums have been used in the Holy week festival of the

Tarahumara people and come from deep in the Sierra Madre Mountains.

(Drum pictured with Tarahumara player is not the drum in this particular listing and is used for illustrative purposes only)

The Tarahumara people use ceremonial drums during their ceremonies as a call to gather the people. Tarahumara ceremonial hoop drums have a great voice!

During the festival you can hear the sound of the Native drums throughout the mountain villages for miles.

It comes to you just as it was used in the ceremony!

Ceremonial drums are usually out of round, may have lacing repairs, patches or signs of deterioration not visible in pictures.

Fashioned by hand, a piece of native yellow pine was shaved to less than a half inch in thickness in order to be bent into the shape of the drum.

Rawhide is stretched over both sides of the drum ring and laced around the edges. This drum was decorated in traditional fashion.

The rust colored stain is made by crushing pieces of iron oxide and is applied with a brush made from a small stick and a piece of wool. It has a small handle on the side as well as the traditional string and bead resonator.

We are also including the actual drum beater used in the ceremony!

Ceremonial Drums are Rare, Unique and Historical and this Authentic Drum would

look great displayed proudly in the Home or Office!

Size: 19" Wide

3" Deep
