鼓是平原印第安人的主要乐器，这个手鼓是个人独唱时用的。其纹饰描绘的是中心柱顶部的一个玩偶，这可能与拉科塔人一年一度的太阳舞节有关。
Drums were the primary Plains Indian musical instrument and hand drums such as this were used by individuals, often as they sang solo. The painted design depicts a central pole with a doll tied to the top and may be a reference to the annual Sun Dance of the Lakota.
