Ancestral Echoes Shekere-Natural

Rooted in centuries of tradition, the shekere is more than an instrument — it’s a living echo of African rhythm and heritage.

Crafted from a natural gourd, each shekere is skillfully dried, cleaned, and polished before being adorned with a handwoven netting of beads or cowrie shells. When shaken or struck, it produces a rich, rattling resonance — a sound that has carried through generations in music, dance, and spiritual ceremonies.

A Story in Every Shell

Cowrie shells, once used as currency across Africa, hold deep symbolic meaning — representing prosperity, protection, and the ocean’s eternal power. Each shell is carefully chosen and placed, ensuring your shekere is as beautiful to look at as it is to play.

From Performance to Display

Whether you are a musician, a collector, or a lover of culture, this shekere blends function and artistry. Perfect for live performances, drum circles, home altars, or as a striking decorative accent, it embodies the heartbeat of Africa in every note.

Uniquely Yours

No two shekeres are identical. Slight variations in size, shell placement, and color make each piece a true original — a one-of-a-kind treasure handcrafted by skilled artisans in Kenya.

Dimensions: Approximately 9–11 inches tall

Available Finishes: Natural, black, and burgundy variations
