Gallery of Rawhide Rattles

This web page, which has larger images, shows details in the types of rawhide rattles I made. The images below are samples of buffalo, elk, horse, bear, wolf, and cougar rattles I have made. Please note that colors do vary within each type of hide from light to dark, and thicknesses vary from thin to thick.

Every rattle is an individual with the attributes of the animals (for the rattle hide and the leather wrap on the handle) and the tree (for the rattle handle) who have given to us. Each rattle also has the characteristics of its rattle maker (i.e., how the rattle is constructed and the energy and prayers put into it).
