Signed hand drum by Clarence A. Wells — Gitxsan Clan, Tsimshian, Pacific Northwest Coast First Nations artist.
The drum face features a striking Haida-style composition depicting a bald eagle in flight above ocean waves, with a Pacific Northwest totem figure (salmon/killer whale) in red, black, and white — characteristic of Wells's signature style. Signed by the artist near the lower edge. Comes with the original drumstick.
