Help with possible origin

I ran across this today and I can't seem to figure out what it is exactly or where is comes from.I know it's not a sword but you folks always seem to have answers on very difficult questions.
The first thing that came to my mind was a Kubuki's drum or Tom Tom of some kind or perhaps some kind of religious drum.It appears to be oreintal.
It is 4 inches thick and 10 inches across with paintings on both sides on what appears to be stretch skin of some kind.I will attach better pics when my camera is finished charging.
Any ideas or oppinions welcomed and appreciated
Thanks
