ရှင်းလင်းချက်
Modeled in the shape of a figure with limbs and other details painted on the surface, this drum would have been played with the figure positioned sideways. The being—most likely supernatural—wears a fisherman’s headband and has hair that transforms into snakes on the back. Another snake projects from the chin. The figure’s eyes form the heads of a pair of sharks or orcas, perhaps suggesting that this being can see the world through the eyes of a marine predator.
