20" Ehwaz Horse Hide Drum | Elder Futhark Rune Drum

20" horse hide drum on a maple frame.  Beautifully dark horse hide allows this animal to speak again in a new form.  Hand painted red artwork featuring a riddle in Younger Futhark from the Old Norse poem "Heiðreks gátur", and symbolism for Odin & Sleipnir's companionship and travels - the interior artwork answers the outer riddle.  Comes with an alder wood and buckskin beater.

Hverjar eru þeir tveir, er tíu hafa fætr,

        augu þrjú, ok einn hala?

Heiðrekr konungr, hyggðu at gátu

‘Who are those two, who have ten feet, three eyes, and one tail? King Heiðrekr, think about the riddle. ’
