Hand-Carved Vintage Wooden Castanets

This pair of hand-carved wooden castanets offers both beauty and sound, crafted from rich, dark hardwood with a smooth, polished finish. The elegant teardrop shape fits comfortably in the hand, and each piece is connected by a durable black cord for easy playability. Ideal for dancers, percussionists, or collectors of world instruments, these castanets produce a sharp, resonant click when struck together.

The minimalist design and high-quality carving suggest they may be of Spanish, Latin American, or Filipino origin, dating from the late 20th century. Whether used for performance or decor, they are a striking example of traditional musical craftsmanship.
