1892.03.0354.A :: trumma

Object description

En trumma av trä, klädd med skinn. Snidat trähandtag och en tvärribba där olika tygbitar och metallklocker hänger ner.

På trummans framsida finns den övre och undre världen. I den övre syns Vintergatans båge, två bågskyttar och två örnar, schamanens personliga beskyddare. I den undre växer två gudomliga björkar. Här finns också människor, en orm, en ödla och två grodor.

Baksidans kraftiga snidade handtag ses som schamanens skyddsande. Järnknivarna vid den övre kanten skrämmer bort de onda andarna.

Med trummans hjälp försätter sig schamanen i trans och når kontakt med andevärlden.

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
