content: A Tlingit wooden frame drum made with stretched moose hide painted with a raven design. The drum was made in Sitka, Alaska by the artist Jennifer L. Brady, also called Ts'enak. The raven motif is painted in three primary colors; black, blue, and red and the design takes up nearly the entirety of the drum face. The skin is very tight across the drum and held by stiff sinew gathered in the middle of the drum's underside. The mallet is made of a wooden handle and a stitched fabric head wrapped in sinew.
