Since antiquity, Sicilian women have played drums in ritual celebrations. A drum in the home was essential as they believed that the sounds of the drum render happiness in the home, especially pleasing to the 'house spirits'.

This is a mini, decorative version of a traditional Sicilian frame drum. It is 5 inches in diameter/ 12.7cm; sustainably hand made in Sicily of recycled materials; hand painted with images inspired by the legend of the Testa di Moro - a symbol of passion; love; revenge...or a talisman of good luck?
