Ojibwa moccasin game drum
|
| Description | Round drum is made of a wood hoop covered with rawhide on all sides. The hide is sewn together on the side using rawhide strips; the sewing extends about halfway around circumference. The hide is torn in one large section along the edge. Both drum faces are painted with the same pattern: a red circular outer band, a red and yellow band of dots, an orange band of dots and a small central yellow circle enclosing a red circle and a red dot. A white cotton string loop is tied to the rawhide stitching. Two strings stretch across the drum diameter on the interior. The drum was used as part of the moccasin game. |
