Description
Absolutely Unique Civil War Tambourine, the Entire Head Decorated with an Ink Scene Titled "Winter Camp 1863 1864". 9½" diameter, 1½" deep. Head held in place with large brass tacks with ten sets of 'jangles" around the rim and a finger hole. Wooden rim painted black with orange pin stripe decoration on the outside and orange on the inside. A couple of cracks in the rim but intact and very sound. The wonderful primitive scene depicts log huts in the foreground including American flag, and Sibley tents in the background. Soldiers in overcoats at left in formation, other soldiers scattered about including guards and one man with an axe chopping wood, all surrounded by evergreen trees. Great untouched condition. Obviously, even the tambourine itself, very rare.Auction Info
