Description
Plain Dried African Gourd with Seeds Inside – Natural Shaker and Decor Piece
This is a traditional, plain dried African gourd, naturally hollowed and retaining its seeds inside, creating a gentle, earthy rattle when shaken. Sourced from West Africa, gourds like this have been valued for practical use, musical instruments, and as decorative objects in homes and altars.
The seeds inside move freely, producing a soft shaker sound that can be used in meditation, ritual work, or music-making. Its warm, organic form and subtle textures add a natural element to any display or collection.
Each gourd is unique in shape and surface markings, with minor surface cracks or variations typical of authentic hand-harvested and sun-dried gourds from Africa.
Makes a sound when shaken.
