I'm also looking for some information...
I printed out a page from a website about making
"Native American rattles" - in which one would
wrap a Y-shaped stick with yarn and tie a string with
beads, etc. across the two top branches.
Does anyone know where this kind of rattle
originated and if it was a toy or had some other
significance?
Thanks,
Deborah
