This handcrafted Shipibo rattle features the image of the Frog, surrounded by traditional Kené patterns – the sacred geometric designs of the Shipibo-Conibo people of the Peruvian Amazon.

Made from natural gourd and hand-etched by hand, each rattle carries the imprint of patient craftsmanship. The wooden handle offers balance and durability, while the feather detail at the top adds a subtle ceremonial touch.

The Frog is deeply connected to water, renewal, and transformation. In many Amazonian traditions, frog represents cleansing, fertility, abundance, and the cycles of rebirth. It is the one who sings before the rain, calling in new life and fresh beginnings.

The surrounding Kené designs are not merely decorative – they are visual representations of sacred songs and energetic pathways. Traditionally connected to healing and harmony, these patterns are said to reflect the invisible structure of the natural world.

Together, frog and kené speak of purification within order – renewal guided by ancestral wisdom. This rattle carries the energy of washing away what no longer serves and welcoming in what is ready to grow.

The sound is clear and grounded, suitable for ceremony, space clearing, altar work, sound healing, or personal ritual practice.
