This is an excellent example of an authentic original Sioux Native American Indian Warrior’s drum with exceptional pictorial painted design from the 3rd to 4th quarter of the 19th century. The early piece shows a wood band construction with rich patina in the wood and a stretched rawhide top wrapping the sides. The front shows a mineral ocher painted background with brown pictorial imagery in a strong pattern. The sides and inside of the drum show a brown mineral. The piece is in fine original condition with some darker areas, presumably where the drum was used most. The stretched rawhide is still in tight original condition and the drum has a rich vibrant sound. The piece shows the correct craftsmanship, patina, and design to be called an authentic Sioux War Drum from the third to fourth quarter of the 19th century. Measures on top 13 7/8”x13 3/8” and is 3”D with a 1.25” wide hole on one edge, presumably for mounting.
