Description

Hand rattle made of two round fruits (possibly monkey oranges) with small round holes drilled in them. The handle is made of a wooden stick, thinner at one end, which has been inserted into the fruits. A small piece of wood has been driven through the thin end of the stick to hold the fruits in place. There is a disk of animal skin in between the fruits with short brown hair present.
