Rattle in the shape of a cradle

Rattle in the shape of a cradle with a child, shown with hands under the head and legs bent and crossed. The insertion of small stones or terracotta spheres inside these objects, which were products made in series using a mould, made it possible to produce a sound that distracted the small children for whom these toys were intended. Similar objects are frequently found in funerary and sanctuary contexts dedicated to divinities protecting motherhood and early childhood.
