Silver baby rattle
| Description: |
Many cultures believe rattles can help frighten away evil spirits as well as entertain. Baby rattles may have developed as a result of this belief, not only as an entertainment toy for the baby, but also to provide protection. This silver rattle from India would have belonged to a child of a wealthy family. |
