Magar shaman drum / Schamanentrommel Nepal

"All shamanic drums are frame drums made of a wooden lath bent in a circular or oval shape and a membrane stretched over this frame. The drum’s numerous functions - as a musical instrument accompanying the recitation of mythical songs, as a pacemaker of ritual dances, as a vehicle on which the shaman travels through space, as a defensive and assault weapon against negative powers, as a diagnostic and prognostic instrument - make it a kind of all - purpose companion to its owner." excerpt from: MICHAEL OPPITZ : Forschungen an den Rändern der Schrift 26 January – 14 April 2018 exhibition at Galerie Buchholz - Edit Daniel Buchholz.
