Mongolian Shaman Ritual

An important attribute for Mongolian shamans is shared with all other shamanism of Inner Asia: the drum. The drum helps the shaman to enter a trance state by its hypnotic rhythms, associated with songs and dance moves. The drum's skin was often made of deerskin, the drum itself standing for "the saddle animal on which the shaman rides or the mount that carries the invoked spirit to the shaman." Other ritual costume elements include Mongolian deel (armor), swords, shaman hat (with veil covering the eyes), mirror armor, etc.
