Gift of Mrs. Eugene Schaefer
Tall, thin drum. The hollow wooden body is carved into an hour glass shape, with a small waist above midpoint and both ends flaring outward. The surface has carved designs of slightly raised swirls and scalloped lines on the bottom area, and repeating motifs of gently curving lines in the upper area. The handle takes the shape of a human figure that clings with hands and feet to the side of the drum, head turned to the right. The reptile skin cover is mottled brown and grey. Interior walls are black with charcoal.

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.
