Shaker Hand Carved Musical Andean Folk Art
A hollowed-out carved gourd is filled with metallic rattling pieces and attached to a stick to create a fun maraca toy.
Long before they became beloved musical accents, maracas were used by Indigenous communities in sacred ceremonies. Dried gourds were often carved to represent the heads of spirits, then shaken by local healers to summon blessings or connect with the supernatural. This rich legacy lives on in each handcrafted piece, turning these maracas into more than just decor — they’re quiet storytellers of history and tradition.
