THE TAUROM
Taurus, just northwest of Orion, is a striking northern constellation with two of the largest star clusters we can see: Hyades as well as the Pleiades. From the time of the Chaldeans, a 5,000 years ago, this constellation has been seen as a bull.
The Taurom is a cylinder drum about 30 cm high and 110 mm or 125 mm in diameter. The name Taurom refers to the leather which was originally used as the beating skin.
