Full, resonant voice.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese rattles are hand-crafted and painted by a Cree artisan now living in Nevada, whose work grows from a lifelong relationship with ceremonial rattle making.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach piece is shaped with care and attention to both form and sound. The handle is designed for a steady, comfortable grip, allowing the rattle to move naturally in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rawhide head is filled with creek stone, balanced to create a tone that is full, clear, and consistent with each shake.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe paintings are done by hand, with each rattle carrying its own subtle variation in detail and expression.
