Woman with a Drum - Femme tambourinaire

The woman with the drum, like the man with the drum, is a popular figure in the world of Santons. They are no ordinary drummers, being the earliest Provencal musicians, instrumental in the creation of the Farandole, and, to this day, present in Christmas and other important village celebrations.
