Description
Rattles are a shaken idiophone musical instrument. It is made up of the empty and dried fruit of the vine known as Aukos or bule. Inside it contains jobei (palm) or Santa puusim (chanate eye) seeds; the handle is made of a willow or citavaro rod crossing the body of the rattle from side to side and is held in place with rubber supports and glue. They have the same manufacturing base as those used by the Venado dancer, the difference is in the color, those used for the Venado dance do not have any enamel and the Matachines rattles are painted red or blue (Varela, 1986 ).
