Rattle25.0/303

The copper theme is repeated in this ceremonial rattle in the shape of that esteemed object. The face has been shaped by pounding into a rounded bulge, and a similarly rounded piece of copper has been soldered to the back, forming a cavity that holds a number of small stones, or perhaps lead shot. The characteristic T-shaped ridge appears on the lower section. (Holm, Crooked Beak of Heaven, 1972)

Copper25.0/302

Coppers vary widely in size, but this one seems too small for actual use as a copper. It may have been made for some decorative use. The fact that this copper is made of brass weighs against its use as a real copper. A face is painted on the upper, flaring section, and there are stripes and stars on the two sides of the lower part. (Holm, Crooked Beak of Heaven, 1972)
