This shaker is crafted from natural calabash gourd and encircled with woven cowrie shells - symbols of spirit, abundance, and the sea. Each movement awakens a rhythm creating rich percussive sounds that carry prayers, blessings, and ancestral echoes. A small string on the handle graces the handle for ease of holding, and soft fringe crowns the top of the shaker. Offered in Red or Black, each piece is both a musical instrument and a work of art, perfect for ceremony, meditation, and weaving sound into spirit. 

Due to the natural nature of the gourd, the size and shape may vary from photo.
