Featured Native American drum?

There was a lot of Native American art & stuff donated to the thrift store today & I got this piece.
Is this legit or a tourist/child's drum?
Thank you!

 

nice drum.....some age...but I can't say it's native made with any certainty

 

Ditto Komo-The thing that rubs me the wrong way is the eagle depiction (but it could be a modern NA rendering). Maybe if the bird was a little more stylized,but then traditions do change with time.

 

4 me it's the feathers on the sides....too muchy much...

 

-perhaps a bit corny ?

 

Hey! lol what gives me pause is there are similar on ebay but they are 15" +/- and mine is 10" - so maybe for a child (and hence the eagle'design)?

 

Sorry J,don't mean to offend,just call 'em as I see 'em.You might make a good hunk on Ebay-good luck.

 

No worries- the smaller size means your probably more right than I am!

 

The construction looks good,it's just the painting that looks more European than traditional NA.

 

I agree. A cool looking thing with some definite age. I know absolutely nothing about identifying authentic NA items. But yes the eagle looks ‘commercialised’ but also it looks way ‘over engineered’ and well constructed for a child’s thing or tourist item (I think)

 

my instincts tell me it is something made for the tourist market. designed to look old although the painting on top looks extremely fresh
