Thanks Guest for that link.

Except that after clicking on it, I STILL didn't know what I was looking at when I looked at it. Which I guess is the point of the preceding tongue and cheek posts..

So I googled it myself and visited a site that explained that

"On an old Franciscan Monastery in Roundstone, developed by the Industrial Development Authority , Malachy Kearns, better known as Malachy Bodhrán amongst folk musicians, works at his craft of making Ireland's oldest product the Bodhrán (Bow-Rawn). It is an 18" one sided drum made from Goatskin treated by a traditional process.
Goatskin has unique stretch properties. The Irish word 'Bodhar' means deaf or haunting. The Bodhrán began as a skin tray used for drawing turf (peat) on the bogs.It stirs the spirit when played with the "tipper" or beater hitting the skin in a racing style while a hand presses the back of the skin to vary the tone. Malachy is respected as a fine Bodhrán makers for 25 years.Most of the professional folk Musicians world wide use our Bodhráns we are the only full time makers in the world."

Okay, now I get the references to wall ornament, frisbee, dart board, pan for gold snowshoe, though the 'how many pints does it hold' is still kinda beyond me.
