A carved gourd rattle from Peru
A maraca is a rattle: a hollow body with loose filling inside that sounds when the instrument is shaken. Our supplier lists this one as handcrafted in Peru. The photos show an oval gourd, dark brown and polished, carved all over with pale line drawings of figures and plants. A rough wooden stick runs through the gourd and serves as the handle; blue thread is wound around it on both sides of the gourd, and a small tuft of pale fibre finishes the top. Mycotrop sells the maraca strictly as a collectible or souvenir item.

How such maracas are made
The supplier describes Peruvian maracas as handcrafted from local materials: a gourd forms the body, artisans fill it with small stones or seeds that make the sound, and the handle is usually cut from local wood, sometimes carved or beaded. Because every piece is made by hand from a natural gourd, shape, size and the carved drawings differ from one maraca to the next. The supplier gives no dimensions, only a weight of 0.2 kg.
What the photos show
The two photos show the same maraca from opposite sides. On one side the carving includes a large face-like figure and a bird; on the other, curved plant and animal shapes. The lines are cut through the dark surface of the gourd, so they show light against the brown. The handle is a plain stick with its bark texture left visible.
