Bald Eagle in the Pine

No collection of Native American drums would be complete without the bald eagle, symbol of the power of the Great Spirit and our connection to the divine.

Feathers of the Eagle are considered to be the most sacred of all healing tools. Their use is universal among all tribes and they have been used in this way for centuries past. Eagle medicine is associated with a state of grace, which is earned through much hard work and perseverance. Eagles also represent the power of the air and the ability to soar into the illuminating levels of life.

The pine is considered one of the most powerful of trees, and is often used by native tribes for burning in sacred ceremonies, making it a special complement to the Eagle on this drum.

Drums

After attending a few drumming circles with friends, Jean became inspired to create unique hand painted drums. The imagery adds a new dimension to the drum, and provides an opportunity to connect more deeply with the spirit of nature. The drums are painted with acrylic and sealed with a clear finish. This does not affect the quality of the sound, and the art can withstand the rigors of most playing styles.

These drums are meant to be used as musical instruments and as tools for personal transformation. Collectors often buy them, however, to be displayed as works of art. Although some drum designs have been painted more than once, none are reproductions. Each one is an original hand painted creation. Many of Jean’s drums are commissions designed for particular individuals who request certain images and themes.
