Rattle

MOA: University of British Columbia

3254/42

Small rattle made of woven grass. The weaving starts from a square-shaped closed end, a long rectangular body, and then long strands of unwoven grass over a piece of wood(?) are bound by undyed plant fibre forming a handle. Inside the body appear to be small, smooth red stones?
