Handcrafted Musical Rain Stick with Carved Details And Decorative Stones

Rainsticks are musical instruments traditionally made from dried, hollowed-out cactus branches or bamboo, with internal spines or pegs and filled with small objects like pebbles, beans, or rice. When tilted, the internal contents cascade down, creating a sound resembling falling rain. They are believed to have originated in Chile and were traditionally used in rain-making ceremonies by indigenous communities like the Mapuche people. The rainstick shown in the image appears to be a handmade, possibly Peruvian, rainstick with hand-carved figures and stones. Today, rainsticks are used in various contexts, including music, meditation, and as a relaxing sound effect. This particular stick has elephant head with beads for eyes. Palm tree and other designs with stone accents. Has a coth ribbon strap.
