A wonderful bronze rain drum by the Karen people of Southeast Asia, to bring out the rain clouds at the end of the dry season, its sound is believed to please spirits and attract rain.
These magnificent tables are known as rain drums for both the fertility images depicted in the design and for the unique sound they make when struck by the heavy monsoon rains of Southeast Asia. The drum shapes replicate huge bronze artifacts manufactured over thousands of years by the Dong-son civilization in Southeast Asia.
