About the Item

Exceptional mid-century Native American painted drum from the Cochiti Pueblo region of New Mexico, dating to circa 1950. A striking example of Southwestern Pueblo folk art and traditional craftsmanship, this substantial drum is constructed with stretched hide over a carved wooden frame and features a boldly hand-painted geometric design in white, black, and orange. The strong graphic pattern, earthy materials, and naturally aged surface give this Cochiti Pueblo drum a compelling presence that bridges Native American art, Southwestern design, and mid-century interiors. Its generous scale makes it particularly effective as a sculptural decorative object, whether displayed prominently on a stand, incorporated into a curated collection, or used as a distinctive focal point in a Western or Southwestern-inspired interior. The combination of painted hide, carved wood, geometric ornament, and authentic age-related patina reflects the character of mid-20th-century Pueblo craftsmanship. Wear, minor fading, and small losses are consistent with age and use and contribute to the object's authentic vintage character. A distinctive collectible for those interested in Native American art, Pueblo objects, Southwestern antiques, Western Americana, and unique mid-century decorative arts. Dimensions: 18.5 inches high x 23 inches diameter.
