This illustrated ceramic drum was inspired by Drake’s Drum displayed at the National Trust’s Buckland Abbey.  The illustrated drum shows the natural world of the estate in the blue segments and the man made world of the Abbey and its contents in the yellow segments. It was designed to encourage visitors to look more closely at their surroundings.
