Title: Antique Black Pottery Rattle With Face Strange Looking
Post by: susiecat on November 10, 2017, 11:50:17 PM
I can't remember how long I've had this strange looking rattle.Look and feel like black pottery but has a face with little mouth open.Measure 4".I believe it came out of an attic of an estate sale years ago.Anybody know what this item is.

Not yours !!  Didn`t search for spirit rattle !!  Didn`t know there was such a thing !!  If you look at the first link there are many !!
I used "black pottery Oaxacan hand rattle" as search term !!  Which one is yours ??

Why did you remove the Worthpoint link?  It would help Mart to see the picture.....
