Small Ceremonial Drum (Libbit/Ludag)This small ceremonial drum is played in conjunction with a gong during harvest time under the rice granary in the Ifugao region. Considered a membranophone drum, it is played by beating the drum head with sticks or by a person’s palms. There are twelve important ceremonies centered on the rice and its constant growth. In regards to the rice harvest, there are two key harvests in the Ifugao region, once in late May for the on-season crop and once again in mid December for the off season crop. This ceremonial drum would therefore be used at least twice a year during the harvest ceremony. Single headed conical drum with deer or goat skin head attached to wooden base with woven hoop made out of rattan bands, coated with unknown finish. 8 inch diameter drum head, 4 ¾ in diameter base, 12 ½ inches tall. Unknown original color. Condition: unused. Ethnic: Ifugao. Origin: Luzon, Philippines.
