Product Description
This striking one-of-a-kind Haitian metal wall sculpture, signed by Jn Eddy, is inspired by the powerful role of the tanbou (drum) in Haitian Vodou culture.
Handcrafted from recycled steel oil drums in Haiti, this circular composition measures approximately 23 inches by 23 inches and features layered, symbolic figures surrounding a central drum motif. The intricate textures and forms are entirely shaped by hand, showcasing the remarkable craftsmanship of Haitian metal artists.
In Haitian Vodou tradition, drumming ceremonies are essential. The rhythms of the tanbou call upon ancestral spirits known as Loa (Lwa)—inviting their presence, guidance, and energy. These spirits embody natural forces, human characteristics, and spiritual principles. The drum is not just an instrument, but a sacred channel of communicationbetween the physical and spiritual worlds.
This sculpture captures that energy—movement, rhythm, and connection—through expressive form and symbolic design.
Created using traditional techniques from recycled steel drums, each piece is unique, carrying subtle variations, textures, and marks that reflect both the material’s past life and the artist’s hand.
