Sorry, no idea what kind of drum that is. All I can say for sure is that it's not a djembe

Thank you so much sakuntuquaye! This is the first clue in the mystery! I am confident that I will soon be able to find all the necessary details to properly fix it! Can anyone think of the name for this type of drum? If I could just find some pics or some details on it how to do it properly and It'll be on its way to restored to beauty.
