Shaman Rattle

Shaman rattles are traditionally made from various materials including wood, turtle shells, snake skin, rawhide, gourds and coconuts and filled with items such as corn seeds, teeth and shards of bone or crystal, and shells (which they are also sometimes decorated with, along with feathers and fur). They are used for ritualistic purposes among Shamanic cultures all over the world, and have been for thousands of years.  Please keep in mind when buying that these are considered sacred instruments.
