Description

This hollow, mold-made figurine contains pellets that transform it into a rattle used as a musical instrument, perhaps during household rituals.
Ceramic figurine rattle with orange showing through the remaining flakes of white and teal paint. The figure has a squared body, arms held up on either side of their smiling face, and legs sticking out from and slightly narrower than their square tunic. Shoulder-length hair with a ridged pattern arcs over their head and a necklace made of a chain of circles hangs down the center of their chest, flanked by two holes.
