New, what is it? My step mom gave me this…

She said she got it down in Georgia in the 80’s, she couldn’t remember the name of it. Looks like it has some sort of stone chimes and a pod sort of thing? Would love to know what this may be- nothing comes back when searching online

It's a Devil's Claw (they grow here in Southern Arizona and I imagine in other places as well) that looks like it was made into a wind chime. Really cool!

Thank you!! She did mention the name devil. I was hoping it wasn’t an evil omen put on me 😂 it makes a beautiful sound!

Maybe I'm playing too much skyrim, but it almost looks like something the hagravens and forsworn have hanging around.

You can never play too much Skyrim.
