Features:	Bolga Market Baskets are handmade using local, natural materials. Baskets are hand-woven in village co-ops in Ghana, West Africa. Set of 6 African musical instruments handmade in West Africa: Nigerian Shekere are made from the thickest gourds and are played by twisting, tapping, shaking and pulling the netting. Ghanaian Caxixi Rattle is woven out of river grass and colored with fabric dyes in Ghana. Shake the rattle on its side and turn it so the pebbles hit the calabash, or just hit the side of the rattle. Ghanaian Calabash Rattle is made from a gourd with a woven cane base and handle. It is filled with pebbles, bottle caps, or seeds to create a bell-like sound. Nigerian Agogo Bell features two bells with distinct pitches and can be played with included mallet. African Piccolo Cabasa is made of wood, with a black painted finish and 6 rows of metal beads. The piccolo cabasa is a smaller, higher pitched version of a full-size cabasa, perfect for early learners.
