Description

A rattle made of a tan colored gourd and smooth tree branch. Attached to the stick with suede leather cord with four beads, (two large, two small) and straw, the gourd has what looks like some sort of brown markings/ resedue over it. There is also some hardened, yellow residue on one side of the gourd, perhaps from tape. At the center of the stick is a wrapping of some sort of animal fur, along with three feathers, one of which has iridescent colors of greens and reds.
