A truly amazing piece of artisan craftmanship. This antique drumbeater comes from a remote, rural area in Nepal and has been completely handcarved with great care and attention.
This beater is intricately carved with geometric designs. The exact meaning of this design will of course only be known to its full extend by the one who it was once made for, but in general it can be said that similar carvings often represent the 'world tree' or 'axis of the world' and would have assisted the shaman in travelling between the worlds.
This drumbeater is a very old one already and has a long history of usage, which can be seen by the beautiful glossy patina on the wood. A drumbeater such as this combines a practical usage with a deep connection to the spiritworld. Please be aware that it was made to be a spirit home and used as such for a long time. It is thus be treated with the utmost care, friendship and respect.
This drumbeater has a length of 32 centimeters and a weight of 41 grams.
