This handmade and hand painted drum was created by Tanya Hogue (Navajo). It measures 11.5” in diameter and approximately 3.5” high. It features a dramatic depiction of the legendary Thunderbird in acrylic on a rawhide canvas. It is functionally built to be held in the hand and includes a drum stick, although it’s mostly meant to be observed and enjoyed as a work of fine art.
