content: SIX-PEGGED RADA DRUM, UNPAINTED SHELL; ONE BROAD ENCIRCLING RIDGE CARVED AROUND CONSTRICTED BASE. DISTINCTIVE CARVING OF THE BASE OF THESE DAHOMEAN-STYLE DRUMS USED IN THE RADA RITES OF VODOU WORSHIP IS ONE OF THEIR PRIME AESTHETIC FEATURES. SOME PATTERNS ARE FOUND ONLY IN CERTAIN VILLAGES OR REGIONS OF HAITI. (SEE H. COURLANDER 1960 THE DRUM AND THE HOE, p. 91-92.)
