A double caxixi, a type of rattle, made from woven fibers and filled with a variety of different materials. This double caxixi is made up of two bell-shaped rattles, made by weaving slices of dried gourd onto the bottom then forming a dome before being woven together at the tops, forming a u-shaped handle; additional fiber crosstie has been added between the top of each dome to help hold the shape. Each caxixi is filled primarily with round, dark seeds or beads.
