Intro

Add a burst of color to your music corner or shelf with this hand painted tambourine. Painted directly onto genuine leather stretched over a wood frame, the design shows Miriam leading women in dance, a scene tied to the Song of the Sea and the joy of redemption. The swirling blue background sets off the golden desert scene beneath it. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has filled Jewish homes for over two decades.

Build and Use

Built from a wood frame with a genuine leather head, the tambourine is hand painted with lasting color that varies slightly piece to piece. Metal jingles line the frame and ring with the lightest shake or tap. The piece measures 8.5 inches across and 2 inches deep, sized to display easily or hold in one hand. It functions as a decorative collectible rather than a plaything.

Gift Ideas

The tambourine's color and subject make it a striking housewarming or wedding gift, especially for anyone drawn to Jewish art and music. It also suits a bar or bat mitzvah, an anniversary, or a gift for someone building a Jewish home. Its size makes it easy to display on a shelf or wall, so it works well for any celebratory occasion.

Care Instructions

Wipe the tambourine gently with a soft, dry cloth to keep the leather and paint clean. Keep it away from moisture and direct sunlight, which can dull the leather and fade the hand painted colors.
