Rattle 300 B.C.-A.D. 1000 Early Quimbaya or Zenú This rattle was likely produced by metalworkers in the middle Cauca Valley and in parts of the Central Cordillera of Colombia, often referred to as the Quimbaya region. At the same time, the rattle bears resemblance to certain objects from the Caribbean Lowlands, part of the Zenú region (please see below). The object adopts the form of a rattle made out of a gourd (calabaza, calabazo, or totuma in Spanish). (For more information on gourd iconography in Quimbaya metalworking, please see Metropolitan Museum of Art 1979.206.776). Its short finial is conical with four pointed protrusions at its base that are spaced evenly apart from one another. Between these protrusions, there is a circumferential band that appears to be cast filigree, but the casting process has blurred some of the filigree design. Starting from the finial, the object gradually widens before taking on a spherical shape, suggesting the form of a gourd. This central spherica
