Music, particularly drumming, was traditionally important in Hawaiian ritual. A drum of this size would have been played as part of hula - a larger version was used in temples. Early hula was a sacred performance by men, involving dancing and the chanting of poetry. Later on it became partly a form of entertainment in which women were also allowed to dance. Drum (pahu hula). From Hawaii, Polynesia. Pre-18th century.
