Organic Rain Stick with Sculptural Form, 20th Century

About the Item

A sculptural and organically textured rain stick, likely carved from dried cholla cactus wood. The porous, lattice-like structure of the cactus gives this piece a dramatic natural presence, both visually and acoustically. When gently tilted, the stick produces a soft, cascading sound reminiscent of falling rain — used in various traditions for meditative, ritual, or musical purposes. The surface bears a beautiful aged patina and tactile weathering, enhancing its character. This object functions as both a sound instrument and a contemplative decorative element — perfect for wabi-sabi, organic modern, or nature-inspired interiors.
