Vintage Small Wood and Hide Drum - Possible Cochiti Pueblo

Description

This vintage drum is made from wood with stretched hide on both ends. There is a woven hide handle. We found the drum at an estate sale, and know nothing about its origins but it is possibly an artifact from the Cochiti Pueblo in New Mexico. According the their website, the Cochiti drums are: "Prized by musicians for their superior quality and tone, Cochiti drums are handcrafted from hollowed tree trunks, usually aspen, and hand-cured leather hides." The drum is in excellent, age-related condition.
The drum is approx. 5" high x 5 1/2" across.
