    I found this carved wooden stick with movable wooden rings and carved designs at a thrift shop for only one dollar. The loose rings make a very light rattling sound but the end of the stick itself is solid wood with carve designs etched into it. I have no idea what it is or who made it and what function it serves. Does anybody have a clue as to what this particular object is? I would love some insights.

      I agree...we had a chocolate whisk in our etsy shop. I thought it was a rattle at first, till I did the research..
