Red Stag Rawhide

Red Stag Rawhide suitable for drum making, rattle making or other crafts.

The Stag

In Celtic mythology, the stag holds a revered and powerful position, embodying various symbolic meanings and associations. The stag represents strength, virility, and nobility. It is often seen as a creature of the wilderness, embodying the untamed and primal forces of nature. In particular, the stag is closely linked to Cernunnos, the Horned God of Celtic mythology. Cernunnos himself is depicted with antlers or adorned with a stag's head, signifying his affinity with this majestic creature. As the Horned God, Cernunnos is associated with fertility, abundance, and the cycle of life. His connection to the stag symbolizes his dominion over the wild and his role as a guardian of the animal kingdom. The stag and Cernunnos are intertwined, representing the sacred masculine energy, the vitality of the natural world, and the cyclical rhythms of existence. The stag's image serves as a reminder of the deep connection between humans and the wild, and the harmonious balance between humanity and the animal realm.

Sustainability

At Heron Drums, we work with natural materials and animal hides - this way the strength and the spirit of the animal and the tree live on and its heartbeat will take so many on beautiful journeys. All of the hides we supply are ethically and sustainably sourced, meaning that these hides are sourced from wild culled stags from the UK, where the hides are otherwise discarded.

Sizing

Each rawhide is natural so will vary in size, thickness and overall shape. The hide is pictured with 16" drum hoops (sold separately), and we generally recommend that a Stag hide is big enough for 1-2 drums.

Delivery

Please allow approx 2-3 weeks for delivery. Hides are often delivered separately from hoops.
