Drums

These very special Shaman Drums are completely handmade in Lapland. Reindeer hide is carefully stretched on a wood frame. Each drum is lovingly dyed and painted with colors from nature (berries, bark from trees, leaves and such.) Every drum will have it's own earthy color. Then the Saami symbols, based on old traditional drums from different areas of Finland, are hand painted on. Each drum comes with information about the drum, how to care for it and translations of the symbols. Traditionally the drum was used to predict the future and solve problems. All these drums have their own sound - higher pitched for the small ones and deep sound on the larger ones. The mallets are made of either reindeer antler or a wood stick covered with reindeer leather.
