Dhyangro drums are usually separated away from their phurba (ritual dagger) handles, and the handles are sold for their own sake. This is a common occurrence with Nepali dealers. Sometimes because the drums are lost and because the handles are easier to transport. So it isn't very often that you see an intact old Tibetan ritual drum. The drum is made of wood and animal hide, and has shaking balls inside for accenting the rhythms created by the shaman dancer. The handle is a wonderfully carved wood phurba (ritual dagger) with multiple faces. An authentic and old piece that displays beautifully. 26 x 15 x 5 inches, 66 x 38 x 13 cm.
