Dayan Identification/ head replacement tips

Hello! Recieved this rather unplayable dayan from a friend, the head (wood diameter) is approximately 13.4 cm, overall about 22cm tall, and appears to be made of sheesham.

The gattas have a pronounced red stripe on them, and I hope that can help someone identify or give some info on an origin perhaps!

I plan to learn re-heading on this drum so I am more comfortable when I do my own heads in the future, tips for this or good places to source from would be appreciated as well! Thank you for reading 🙂
