Attached to the bottom of the handle are eight rawhide strips adorned with beads showing colors of red, yellow, teal, clear and transparent olive green and a small piece of polished Sleeping Beauty turquoise. The gourd is etched and painted with a black dye, depicting a lively village scene where women of the village can be seen preparing food, tanning hides, moving animals, farming and holding various garments.

The rattle shows good condition overall with slight wear present from its age and use over the years but no signs of major damage is noted.
