Drum Shaman Jhangri Dhyangro Object Ritual Tibetan Tantric Nepal 7212

Description

SHAMAN DRUM
JHANGRI
The "dhyangro" or shaman drum is the ritual object par excellence of the "Jhakri" ...
Made up of a double skin stretched over a birch frame and a handle similar to the ritual dagger or "phurbu", the drum punctuates the trance and the healer's journey.
Some even speak of the "dhyangro" as a vehicle on which the shaman would travel.
Be that as it may, he fully participates in the theatricality of the Himalayan "medicine man", singing and dancing for hours on end to contact his tutelary divinity, of whom sometimes the drum is the home.
At a time when the traditional local cultures of the Himalayas are undergoing an increasing process of permeability to the outside world, one may wonder, if soon, such objects will still have a place?
Wood, skin, braiding, patina of use, ancient Nepal.
Dimensions
approximate: 59 X 35 X 9.7 cm high
