SY drums hand painted
$22.00
Using goatskin and thin layers of wood, these drums are formed by artisans in Peru.
The goatskin is tanned in the sun until it cures and is stretched to its limit. Then it is stretched over wood and tied by hand. Expert painters then carefully design geometric or animal patterns over the surface. Finally, a single coat of varnish is applied over the design to protect the design for years to come. The work performed is done entirely by hand and involves expertise and patience. This drum is a fair-trade product that directly benefits the artisans who work to create it.
