Crackle Ngô-kon

Ngô-kon crackle, shaking musical instrument, made with the gourd known as 'for flasks'. After cleaning the pumpkin, seeds are introduced, which when shaken give a particular sound.
These crackles are objects of prestige for whoever owns them, always received as an inheritance, because whoever owns them leads the dance and song.
This instrument recalls the circular shape of the world and of the Kayapò village.
In the Museum since 2000. From the village of Garatire.
