For your consideration, a vintage wood hand drum, also known as a darbuka, doumbek, or goblet drum, featuring intricate mosaic mother-of-pearl inlay.
It is an iconic percussion instrument in Middle Eastern music, made from wood with mother of pearl inlay and goat skin head.
The instrument produces deep bass tones ("doum") and crisp high-pitched sounds ("tak") using hand and finger techniques.
The name "darbuka" most likely comes from the Arabic word "daraba," meaning "to strike".
Its shape allows for fast, intricate rhythms and dynamic control, making it popular in traditional and modern music fusion.
The darbuka is a hand drum with a single drumhead and a narrow waist.
