This handmade mini calabash shaker is a small natural gourd wrapped in a hand-knotted cord net trimmed with cowrie shells. A leather ring around the shoulder holds the net in place, and long cord tassels hang from the base. When you shake or twist it, the cowries tap against the gourd for a soft, natural rattle sound.
Its compact size makes it easy to hold in one hand, so it works well for music sessions, drumming circles, dance classes, church and cultural performances, or simply as a fun instrument for kids and adults to play. When it’s not in use, it makes a lovely décor piece on a shelf, desk or entryway, or hung up by its cord.
It’s a thoughtful gift for musicians, music teachers, collectors and anyone who loves handmade African décor. It’s lightweight, easy to carry, sturdy enough for regular play, and looks just as good displayed as it does in use.

At Africa Creates, we do not believe in the myth of predefined sizes. Each body is different and deserves an outfit just as unique. Therefore, to use this guide, we recommend using your measurements in inches (as explained below) rather than the "4 to 22" sizes.
From there you can select the corresponding international size for your order, and each seller will then be able to make sure to send the PERFECT fit for YOU!
