Amazing amazing Vintage Chinese Dragon Drum. Just the statement it makes is worth owning it. It is Hand painted, stands almost 6 feet tall, and its eclectic, dramatic, tribal, and really cool. It sounds amazing as well, very strong! I actually know very little about this item, except what was told to me at the auction where I acquired it.Its vintage, and hand painted I was advised that it is a Japanese Kabuki Drum however upon further research I was advised that it is a Chinese drum, AND I found one that looks almost the same online listed for $1600.Look over the pics to see the amazing details. As I noted, I know very little about this piece, but if you have specific questions, or angles you would like to see a close up to verify authenticity and condition, we will do our best to accommodate.Feel free to contact me with any questions or if you are local, to arrange to come and inspect it in person.Thank you for looking:)
