Brought back to the US by an uncle who was a Merchant Marine!
Presumably made with hollowed-out gourds, with wooden handles inserted. Sold as-is: One maraca has no seeds inside, but this could be remedied by inserting some small beans, etc. See pictures, as there are some visible splits, due to age.
Almost 70 years old!
