Native American Rawhide Beaded Steer Head Rattle by Navajo Indian artist Clara Vasquez.
This impressive Rattle measures 16-1/2" from the top of the bulb to the end of the handle.

The rawhide rattle head is securely hand stitched with artificial sinew and cut to create the image of the southwestern steer head. Powerful symbols dress this ceremonial artifact and it would make a fabulous gift. It is attractive in any setting and has the artistic character to stand alone or compliment similar pieces of collected works. Bead work may slightly vary from piece to piece. You'll be getting one from the group of hand made Navajo Rattles.
