Traditional crafters make  these type of rattles from the folded and dried bark of an elm tree which is known for its durability and flexibility.  They use a natural branch handle. Native American Dancers use rattles to produce the rhythm for song and dance. Musicians can hit them against the palm of their hand, or shake them.  These rattles are a traditional Native American instrument. Native peoples used them before contact with Europeans and still use them today.  Rattle Dark Elm Bark measures 9 inches long overall. One of a Kind!
