Dew claw rattle with wooden stem wrapped with plaited quillwork bands, copied from a original from the Western Great lakes, early nineteenth century. Length 29.4 cm. Housed at Muse'e d'Yverdon, Switzerland. The original wooden handle is what I believe to be a re-purposed bird arrow, this is made from hickory.
