I will leave Ireland, so I want to sell it asap.
This is a beautiful vintage traditional Chinese dragon drum, a classic piece of folk art percussion with rich cultural details.

Key Features:

- Construction: Handcrafted wooden body with vibrant red lacquer finish, paired with double-sided natural cowhide drumheads, secured by evenly spaced brass rivets along the rims.

- Decoration: The top drumhead features a detailed hand-painted dragon motif, while the body showcases a striking two dragons chasing the pearl design in traditional black ink against the rich red background, a classic symbol of prosperity and power in Chinese culture.

- Condition: This drum is in good vintage condition, with signs of gentle age and use, including natural patina on the brass rivets, minor surface wear on the lacquer, and subtle texture variation on the cowhide (consistent with age). The hide remains taut and intact, ready to play or display.

- Sound & Function: The cowhide heads produce a warm, resonant tone when struck, making it both a functional percussion piece and a stunning decorative accent for any home or collection.
