Mahogany jambe drum, 'Bhoma, Lord of the Forest' Musical Instruments View by Region Bali Java 
Khoirul Anam invokes the presence of Bhoma to adorn
this jambe drum with his spectacular grace. Bhoma is the
protector of all Balinese villages and the acknowledged Lord of
the Forest. This much-revered figure is also the mythical son
of the goddess of the earth, Prathiwi, and of the
Lord Vishnu, in his celeng or wahara incarnation. Despite his
frightening appearance, Bhoma is a good and friendly spirit, much
loved by the devout Balinese people. An original design by
Anam, the drum's base is hand-carved with supreme detail from
mahogany wood. The drumhead is crafted of cured goatskin, which
is held in place with nylon strings.
