This double-headed ceremonial drum called lamba, is unique to the people of Sumba, an island in eastern Indonesia.
The drum is made of two thick animal hide covered heads over a hollowed out chunk of log. The side bindings of this lamba consists of three rows of wooden wedges that are interlocking/overlapping. These wedges are used for tuning, by pushing in to tighten or pulling out to loosen the tension on the drumheads. A section of leather cord is also tied to the bamboo rings tied around the rims of the drumheads and functions as a loop for hanging the drum or as a handle when played in side.
