Gitksan Rattle This rattle is made from wood. It was carved in two pieces. It looks
like a bird but the design on one side is a beaver and on the other
side of the rattle there is a frog. On the beaver's tail there is a
small human face. It looks like a person might be looking out of a
window. This rattle may have been used as a musical instrument or by
a shaman as medicine to cure illness. I like this rattle because it
has heads on it and different designs. |
