Description

Physical Description:

A somewhat abstract figure of a drummer carved from bone. The figure's face is ringed with what looks like a parka hood and he holds one arm above his head. There is a small hole in the hand where the baleen beater is attached. The bone is mostly brown with patches of white where it is carved away.
