This seed rattle on handle is an African made idiophone, used in traditional dance rituals. It can also be played among other instruments to enrich the accompaniment of a large variety of musical styles, or as a sound effect to storytelling.

Played with mastered gentleness, this instrument can sound like waterfall.
Its natural Entada or Kola seeds (beans) are hollowed out and fixed to a wooden handle with a plaited lace scheme.
