Abstract
Rattles are among the rare finds. Therefore in the following an old find from the Lippische Landesmuseum will be presented. By comparing with other finds it may be dated to the 11./12. century. The old broken pear-shaped rattle is made of a bright clay and has two drill-holes. The interpretation of the use of such rattlles is varied.The use as a musical instrument also as children’s toys, for cultic actions and as a rattle for leprosy patients are to take into consideration. The exact origin of the piece in unknown. Due to a hand-written note the rattle must have come in the possession of the Lippische Landesmuseum in the period from 1935 till the end of Word War II in 1945.Statistics
