Description

Clay rattle. The body is long and rounded, with several smooth vertical indentations carved from shoulder to base. Six small holes are bored through the clcay at intervals, three along the base and another three at the shoulder. The handle is long and tapers slightly toward the top where another hole is bored through the wood. The base flares out from the body and its underside is indented. When the instrument is moved, a soft rattling sound emanates from the body.
