    NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS ? WONDERING IF ANYONE KNOWS WHAT AREA OF THE WORLD THIS CAME FROM .HEARD THESE WERE DESIGNED TO REPRESENT THE SPIRIT OF THE ONE OR ONES WHO WERE THE SUBJECT OF ITS PURPOSE CAUSING IT TO BE MADE . DESIGNED WITH SHAPE IN MIND , SYMBOLS AND PARTS OF THE SUBJECT ATTACHED TO IT .THIS MAY HAVE REPRESENTED A LOST LOVED ONE, A CHILD, AN ANIMAL THAT HAS OR HAD A DEVINE PURPOSE,OR AN ENEMY IN THEIR LIFE . THEY WERE SOMETIMES USED DURING RITUALS OR VOODOOS OF SORTS PREVALENT IN THAT AREA AT THAT TIME IN HISTORY. ANYONE HAVE KNOWLEDGE ON THE ORIGIN OR THE TYPE OF GOURD USED IN ITS CONSTUCTION OR THE ORIGIN OF THE SHELLS USED WOULD BE A HELP IN IDENTIFYING THIS TRIBAL MARACAS HISTORY AND ORIGIN . ANYONE HAVE DNA TECHNOLOGY AND WANT TO HELP ID HAIR ATTACHED TO IT , IM INTERESTED . ....IT HAS HAIR ON TOP AND DIFFERENT SYMBOLS ON EACH OF 4 SIDES . ANY HELP ON THE SYMBOLS WOULD ALSO BE A HELP . ONLY 2 OR 3 ARE POSTED. HOPE ITS THE PERSONS BURRO AND NOT THEIR RELATIVES. LOL ...NOT
