Natural Woven Elephant Grass Rattles

Handwoven from sturdy elephant grass, this natural woven rattle is a beautiful example of Ghanaian craftsmanship. Artisans in the Bolgatanga region skillfully shape each rattle, securing a calabash gourd base filled with rattling beans to create a soft, earthy percussion sound. Left in its natural golden hue, this rattle highlights the raw beauty of elephant grass without added dyes. Whether used as a musical instrument, a decorative piece, or a unique gift, each rattle carries the essence of traditional African craftsmanship.

Who Made It: Swahili African Modern partners with artisans in the Bolgatanga region of Ghana, where skilled weavers craft these rattles using age-old basketry techniques. Through fair trade partnerships, these artisans earn sustainable livelihoods while preserving their cultural heritage.
