This instrument is a hybrid of a drum and an Udu (ordinarily made from clay), carved from a Mulberry log with an ellipsoidal cross-section. Its peculiar name in no way promotes or demeans Christianity or its namesake. The Sacred Heart of Jesus was/is the name of a spirit entity that was summoned to assist me while I was having an out-of-body experience following a severe trauma. It was made in repayment of that debt.
