releventchair Gold Member May 9, 2012 22,402 70,743 Primary Interest: Other Sep 26, 2018 #2 Hmmm. Rawhide will be hard regardless of age. Is the drum less than a few inches in diameter? It looks like cow ,or buffalo horn. From Africa,or India, Mexico maybe? Looks like varied cowhides ,vs American Bison. That might rule out Native U.S. source if a high valued item. Upvote 0

Maybe what looks like horn in your picture is actually wood. Here is a reference to some double ended drums ,perhaps one small for wearing/carrying... https://books.google.com/books?id=E...#v=onepage&q=Small buffalo horn drum&f=false Upvote 0
