Rattle, shaker, or maraca made from wood and a small, dried gourd. The handle is made from a lightweight, cylindrical piece of wood which is undecorated with the exception of a single line carved around the wood approximately 1 cm above the bottom. The gourd is approximately 13 cm long and has the remnants of white and blue paint, although most has been worn or scraped off, it is filled with an unknown substance, possibly seeds or beads. The gourd is held to the wooden handle by a single wooden dowel which passes through holes made through the wood and gourd.
