Summary

Description
English: Sami drum, probably from Lule Lappmark, Sweden. Bowl drum. 49 × 39 cm. No 63 in Ernst Manker's Die lappische Zaubertrommel (1938/1950).
At Museum für Völkerkunde, Dresden and its forerunners since 1684 or earlier. Donated to the king of Sachsen Johan Georg II 1668 by the duke of Holstein, Kristian Albrekt, brother of swedish queen Hedvig Eleonora.
Motives include game birds, fur animals and fish; this reflects an owner that were probably not reindeer herding, but rather found his living in hunting and fishing. This according to Manker (1938).
