Titles: Ojibwe moccasin game drum (Supplied title)
Description: This 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. This drum is Ojibwe in origin.
