This charming little rattle, known as caxixi ("ka-she-she"), is made from river grass and colored with fabric dyes. It is produced throughout Ghana, wherever the grass is available. You can get two different sounds by shaking the rattle on its side and turning it so the pebbles either hit the calabash or just hit the side of the rattle. Experiment with different ways of shaking it to get different sounds and rhythms. A small peice of gourd is woven into the bottom complete with a quirky little face. Assorted colors.
