Handcrafted African Carved Gourd Rattle – Tribal Dotwork Design with Strap

This handcrafted double-gourd rattle features carved dotwork patterns etched in horizontal bands around its dark, naturally polished surface. Tied with a simple black string, it may have been used as a musical shaker, ceremonial piece, or decorative folk art. Lightweight and tactile, it carries the character of handwork and natural materials, with visible texture and subtle imperfections that speak to its authenticity. Whether displayed on a shelf or added to a global collection, it brings an earthy, soulful presence. Approx. 6” tall x 4.5” wide. In good condition for its age with minor wear, surface irregularities, and patina consistent with natural gourd material. Folky, boho, MCM, travel, and eclectic decor themed homes will welcome this piece.
