Shaman's Drum - Dhyāngro - Nepal Early 20th Century
Two-sided shamanic drum from Eastern Nepal. The dhyāngro is a drum played by the jhakris (shamans) of Nepal. Frame drum with two skins laced in a cross (plant fibers), with wooden handle carved with human figures, evoking a Tibetan ritual dagger. This intercessor-healer instrument is struck on the external face. While officiating, the priest speaks to the inner side of the drum. See photo PP0107036 Musée du Quai Branly The curved wicker rod is still present. The percussion allows the shaman to access trance, a modified state of consciousness, and to come into contact with the spirits. total height: 67.7 cm - diameter: approx. 42.5 cm depth: approx. 12 cm - handle: 27.3 cm long stick: approx. 58 cm shipping: ask us
