I purchased this at the weekend from an antique shop. I was told it was a babys rattle although I'm not so sure. It is silver, has bells along one side and a pin. There seems to be a bit missing also. Any help in identifying would be great. Thank you
I think it may be a hirz, from the Middle East. It would hold an amulet and/or scroll to protect the wearer.
