This listing is for a hand painted fixed natural skin head tambourine. The image is my original design 'Five Pointed Arabic Star'.

This tambourine is hand-painted with organic henna paste which stains the natural skin of the tambourine a beautiful rich mahogany colour. The henna paste is left in-situ and can be removed before use, or allowed to wear off naturally. The henna stain will deepen over time, aging beautifully and lasting as long as the head itself.

Please note that the darker colour is the 'paste on' and the lighter colour is 'paste off'. See the last image for the range of colour you can expect 'paste off', there are some areas of paste on for comparison. The colour darkens over time, sometimes to a dark brown black colour.

I am a professional henna artist and designer. I love applying my passion for pattern to natural dyes and beautiful products that will enhance your dance or music. I only use the best bridal quality henna paste on my hand-henna-painted items.

Small smudge of henna near the edge (see on the right hand side).

If you have a specific design or instrument in mind, please get in touch for a bespoke order.

Dimensions: 8 inches / 20 cm in diameter
