This artwork is a traditional Chinese water drop dragon drum, which is an ancient percussion instrument.

The shape of the dragon drum resembles a drum, but it has a dragon design on top.

The dragon is an important symbol in Chinese culture, representing power and nobility.

The process of making a water drop dragon drum is very complex and involves several steps.

Firstly, craftsmen select high-quality wood to make the drumhead.

Then, they carve the wooden board into the shape of a dragon and paint it red and gold.

Next, they install copper nails on the head and body of the dragon to produce sound when struck.

Finally, they moisten the drumhead with water droplets to enhance the clarity of the sound.

The entire process requires a lot of time and effort, but the final result is truly amazing.

The water drop dragon drum not only has a beautiful appearance but also produces clear and pleasant sounds, making it an essential part of traditional Chinese music.
