Vintage Authentic Handmade Tarahumara Indian Matachin Ceremonial Gourd Rattle

Description

This Vintage Authentic Handmade Tarahumara Indigenous Mountain Tribe Matachin Ceremonial Gourd Rattle was given to me by my grandmother. It appears to be beautifully handmade and handcrafted by the Tarahumara tribe. The dimensions of the rattle are 10in/25.5cm long and 4in/10cm wide at the top. There is a stamp on the handle of the rattle that says, "Mexico". It appears to have no cosmetic damages, just small wear and tear from the item being old as well as visible glue on the top of the rattle (see pictures). It is actually in fantastic condition considering it's age. Please message me with any questions or concerns!! I was not given much information on this item, however I will attempt to answer your questions as best I can.
