- Lot Description
Native American, New Mexico, Cochiti Pueblo, ca. late 19th to early 20th century CE. A ceremonial drum made of a wooden core (likely from the native cottonwood tree) with stretched hide drumheads on both ends. The cylindrical drum features fiber cords woven through the pieced holes on the two pieces of hide to pull them taut, and a small strap creates a handle for suspension. The hide creates the perfect tympanum surface and shows signs of use. The hide is likely from a deer or another ungulate, and brown hairs are present. The drum still emits sound when tapped! Size: 7.5" Diameter x 12" H (19 cm x 30.5 cm)
Painted and unpainted drums of all sizes are used in Pueblo ceremonies. The drum suggests the sound of thunder that comes with rain, a vital event for crops. The drum has two heads and Pueblo songs are written to utilize both sides. The songs start slowly using one head, and at a certain point, the drum is flipped over to achieve a different tone/beat. This lifts the dancers and gives them the impetus to continue dancing.
