EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent large temple drum from the late 19th century. Crafted by the Tibetan school, this exquisite piece is made of softwood, iron rings, pigments, and leather. The drum stands tall on its original stand, accompanied by authentic drumsticks that have withstood the test of time. Displayed at the Freer Gallery of Art in the Smithsonian Institution in the USA, this remarkable artifact holds great cultural and historical significance. Its dimensions are impressive; with a height and diameter of 53.3 x 17.8 cm (21 x 7 in), it commands attention and admiration. The frame surrounding this precious instrument adds to its allure, measuring an imposing 180.3 x 106.7 x 47 cm (71 x 42 x 18½ in). This grand display truly emphasizes the importance placed on music within Tibetan culture. Part of The Alice S. Kandell Collection housed at the Freer Gallery of Art, this temple drum represents not only a musical instrument but also a symbol of Buddhism's rich heritage. As we gaze upon this image captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back to ancient Tibet where rhythmic beats echoed through sacred halls during religious ceremonies. Through this photograph print, we can appreciate both the craftsmanship involved in creating such an intricate instrument and its role as a vessel for spiritual expression within Tibetan Buddhism.
