This terracotta rattle, shaped like a standing mythological figure, was made in Maya civilization between 650 and 800. It is a small figurine with a large, rounded belly, and stylized limbs. The rattle features small turquoise details which depict a headdress, earrings, and a belt. This piece was intended for use as a rattle for infants or children and is now held in the Art Institute of Chicago.
