Total length: 9.5cm (excluding the string) This is a small rattle, about the size of a finger. It's not a baby's rattle, but rather something used by Native American shamans in rituals. The top is a balloon-like shape made from thin, dried skin, and it contains some kind of seeds that make a rattling sound. The ones actually used were about the size of a fist, so this small one is likely not authentic. It's an old souvenir item. The materials used are leather and twigs, making it look realistic.
