Summary
A baby's wooden rattle with a long handle (possibly 19th century). At the 'head' end are many rectangular, wooden sticks which protrude from the three dimensional lozenge shaped 'head'. This is filled with something which rattles when the rattle is waved. The rectangular handle is carved with small niches cut into the four corners.
