African gourd shaker, or Shekere. The base of the instrument is made from a dried, hollow gourd which has three holes, two small, round ones on either side of the neck near the stem, and one large, square one on the bottom. The round, bottom of the gourd is covered in a netting made from white thread with a blue thread ring near the neck; there are several seeds threaded into the net. Sticker on the neck of the gourd provides some information on the instrument, but portions of it are illegible.
