Handcrafted with reverence, this 16-inch drum is made from a maplewood hoop and sacred bison hide, uniting the strength of the earth with the grounding voice of the buffalo. The inner hoop carries hand-painted blessings and sacred symbols that speak of protection, connection, and reverence for life.

A Blessing & Earth Connection: At its heart rests the ancient verse Numbers 6:24: “The Lord bless you and keep you.” A maple leaf honors the rooted wisdom of the tree, a bison drawing calls in endurance and the sacred medicine of the great buffalo, and the word GAIA embodies respect for the Earth, reminding us of our sacred relationship with all living things

The intention of this drum is to bring heavenly peace. The medicine of this drum is becoming the bridge of peace between the Father Creator and the Mother Earth.
