Wolf Cochiti Hand Drum

This hand painted Cochiti hand drum is painted by Jordan T (Torres) with a wolf who appears ready to strike. Wolves are widely considered a symbol of strength, loyalty, courage, and wisdom, often viewed as spiritual guides or "medicine beings" across many tribes, with stories frequently depicting them as teachers who showed humans how to hunt and live in harmony with nature; many tribes even considered wolves as protectors of their land and community. The hand drum is 11 inches in diameter.
