Drum2948/2

Wooden drum. The outside of the drum is carved and painted with coiled motifs and possibly representations of beings with heads and hair. These are painted white and raised above the red background. The lower portion of the drum is separated from the upper by a raised, thin, white band running around the midsection. The lower end of the drum ends in four roughly pointed projections while the upper end is carved to form a rounder shape with a smaller circular opening. This top opening is darker in colour and undecorated. Part of the midsection is painted light yellow, while the others are white.
