2022-27-41 (Rattle)

Rattle/shaker made from three dried and hollowed out gourds attached to a stick. The gourd rattle heads are stacked one on top of the other at the top of the stick, arranged with the largest on the bottom and the smallest on the top; each gourd is filled with an unknown material (possibly seeds, nuts, or small stones) and have designs that appear to be wood burned around the outside. There is a tuft of unknown tan animal fur wrapped around where the bottommost gourd is attached to the stick. The stick is smooth and stained a dark brown, it has a small hole near the bottom through which a small strip of leather has been tied, most likely for hanging.
