Raven RattleNbz798

Rattle depicting a horizontal raven with a straight beak, which rests upon the bird's chest. The wings are at the sides and there are five splayed protruding tail feathers at the bottom. The bird figure is painted blue with red accents delineating the beak and feathers. A long unpainted handle extends from the base of body. There is a horizontal cut through the body and the handle. The two pieces have been nailed together with one nail, which is located in the handle at base of the raven's body. The nail protrudes through the underside of the handle. The hollow body likely contains pebbles, which create noise when shaken.
