Carved wooden hand drum / container — fixed leather head, 18 × 16 cm, plays (aged leather)

Lot: Small carved wooden hand drum (or drum-style container) with fixed stretched leather head and carved geometric decoration. Strong, tactile piece: solid carved timber body with dark bands, decorative leather scalloped rim and leather-studded tabs. Clear signs of age give this item character—visible surface wear, a drilled sound/vent hole and a leather head that remains in place. Warehouse check: top is a fixed drum head and the drum is playable.

This lot suits collectors of folk instruments and rustic home decor, theatre or prop departments, or anyone wanting a compact playable hand drum with visible patina. Use it as a small travel or table drum, a display object on a shelf, or a tactile accent in an eclectic room. Its size and sound make it useful for practice, recording texture or as a decorative accent in a bar, café or studio.
