09-113    DEER TOE DANCE GARTERS: Toes strung on leather strap to form the old-time Indian 'bells' common throughout much of North America, and still the only acceptable 'bells' for dancers in the four Ohsweken Longhouses. (Cayuga)    $62.50e

09-114    WATER DRUM: The ONLY Iroquois drum. Small keg into which a small amount of water is poured through a bunghole. The tightened wet leather is what gives this drum its characteristic high "ping-ping: sound... not, as one often reads, the amount of water inside. Today, singers are generally switching to a drum made of a heavy plastic piping. this produces the same sound as the traditional wood drum, but has the considerable advantage of not moldering or splitting...common nuisance maintenance problems of wood drums. As a result, it is almost impossible for us now to get anyone to make wood drums.  (Note: For those who may think wood drums are the traditional drum, note that in the old days a drum was made of a covered clay pot; wood drums came about with the advent of small wooden kegs from traders. These were an improvement over the fragile clay pots, as the plastic now is an improvement over wood. (Cayuga)    $
