Rattle or shaker made from a dried seed pod, most likely from an African Flame Tree. The dried seed pod is long, wide, and flat, it has become hard and inflexible because of the drying process, leaving it stuck in s partially twisted position. A hole has been made near the bottom of one end and a loop of lime green yarn has been tied through it, most likely for hanging; a 2 cm wide decorative weaving is wrapped around the seed pod approximately 10 cm down from the other end, it is primarily blue with green, orange, pink, yellow, black and white patterns, there also appears to be a few strands of silver tinsel woven in.
