Handheld Muyu Percussion Instrument with Beads & Mallet

A textured shell, an assorted-bead loop, and a small mallet give this piece its tactile character. The design brings rhythm, touch, and everyday ritual into one handheld object.

• Textured Shell Body: The dark shell shows fine lines, uneven markings, and subtle variations in tone rather than a uniform, highly polished finish.
• Mixed-Bead Loop: Beads of different shapes and surface textures form the loop, with warm browns offset by small accents of red, cream, and gray.
• Connected Mallet: The round-headed mallet is attached by a cord, keeping it together with the shell and beaded loop.
• Handheld Format: The shell can be cradled in the palm, making the interaction direct and simple: hold, tap, and listen.
• A Rhythm of Your Own: Play a few gentle beats, pause, and begin again. There is no fixed sequence to follow.
• Symbolic Inspiration: Awareness - Listening - Nature - Rhythm - Presence - Everyday Ritual
