[Drum]

Afghan-Pakistani Drum made of Artillery Shell

Visually striking drum composed of Afghan-Pakistani goatskin, plaster, vegetable dye, wire and sling fitted around a WWII artillery shell. 17.5"h. Scattered cracks, wear and losses. Deaccessioned from the Northern California Art Museum, this is an extraordinary musical relic, a sort of metaphor given physical form. (12588)
