Rattle
Rattles in their most basic form, as simple toys to divert babies, go back to at least the 2nd century BC. Over the years they have been made to simple designs in materials ranging from dried gourds, woven sticks and hollowed-out bones, to much more elaborate styles in glass, silver and gold.
