- Lot Description
North America, Spanish Colonial, Mexico, ca. 19th century CE. A remarkable drum featuring a brass shell, deer hide batter and snare heads, and two wood hoops, all held together via fiber ropes woven through each hoop and supported by hide reinforcements where they cross. The intriguing instrument presents a unique composition of varied materials, creating a wonderful haptic experience of differing textures, such as the soft fur of the batter and snare heads, the smooth wood of the hoops, and the cool brass of the shell, as well as optic, via the mottled caramel and butterscotch hues of the hide, the matte black paint of the wood, and the lustrous surface of the brass. A well preserved and fascinating instrument! Size: 15.25" in diameter x 11.125" H (38.7 cm x 28.3 cm)
Provenance: private Glorieta, New Mexico, USA collection
All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
