2022-27-3 (Juju Nut Shaker)

Woven nut shaker, most likely meant to be tied around the waist, arm, or leg based on length. Woven band is made from an unknown fiber and has 30 large, hollowed out juju nut halves dangling from the center. The nuts are attached to the band via woven strands of the same fiber strung through holes made in the tops and knotted, each individual strand holds two nuts, one on each end. The strands are then woven into the band, allowing each nut to dangle down. The band itself is made up of three woven strands; there are several centimeters of excess material on either side of the nuts, one end is braided and knotted while the other is left unwoven and knotted.
