Wooden Ring Rattle

Channapatna, Karnataka

A one-piece rattle turned from ivory wood, with loose rings that slide and click along a smooth handle. The sound is soft wood on wood, not a shake of loose parts, because everything is carved from the same block. Lac colour in vegetable-origin tones is heat-fused into the surface, then polished to a low sheen a baby can safely mouth and grip.

The hands
The captive rings are turned loose around the handle in one piece of wood, a lathe skill that takes years to learn.

Buying handmade keeps a craft in work. That is the whole model — no middle story.
