Small Drum

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a bronze drum titled "Small Drum" by an unknown artist. The drum is made of bronze and has a dark green patina. It is shaped like a truncated cone with a flat top and a wide base. The top has a small handle in the center and two small handles on either side, about halfway down. There are several lines of engraved designs around the drum, including a rope-like pattern around the top edge and a series of lines and shapes around the middle. The background of the image is a plain off-white color.
