Hoop Rawhide Drums
nclonghunter:
These drums are made from deer that I shot and made rawhide. The hoops are ash and hickory that was split from a tree and heat bent into the circles.
The one is a crow that I envisioned one day and it represents moving forward but watching your back trail. The bear paws are the dangers or powers in this world that are around you, which can be good or bad.
The second is from a painting in the Cova dels Cavalls cave in Valltorta Spain. It represents the early bow hunters connecting our past and my passion.
Hope you enjoy..

Spotted Dog:
In many Native cultures the crow was a messenger. The Mesquakie revered the bird. Used them in dance costumes .
I love them both. Great work.

My ancestors (Norsemen) also revered ravens. The Norse believed that Odin kept a pair who would fly through the nine worlds, and report to him each evening what they saw.
They also flew a raven banner when they visited the rest of Europe, from time to time. ;)
