Inside of the pin are little beads for rattling and here's what Nelda says about that “A great deal of my work revolves around the rattle, a sacred object used in spiritual ceremonies. Medicine men use the rattle during prayer, believing that the sound helps carry their prayers to the Great Spirit. I call my art pieces amuletic forms with audio aesthetics, referring to the sacredness of the rattle and the sound (voice) that emanates from the pieces.” – Schrupp .  Hallmarked and copyrighted.
