Northwest Coast hand drums (sometimes called gaaw in Tlingit) are essential for ceremonies, potlatches, dances, and shamanic practices. They provide rhythm for songs and are believed to connect the physical and spirit worlds—drumming can invoke or represent spirits. The carved handle and painted imagery make this a more elaborate, likely ceremonial or personal piece rather than a basic dance drum.
