This is a high-quality 3D model of a Shekere, a traditional African percussion instrument made from a dried gourd covered with a net of colorful beads. The Shekere is widely used across West Africa, especially among the Yoruba people, in music, ceremonies, and cultural performances.

The model features a realistic gourd body, hand-strung bead netting, and a wooden handle, with carefully detailed materials that capture natural wear and handcrafted imperfections. It is suitable for games, animations, films, virtual instruments, cultural heritage projects, and educational visualizations.

The asset is fully textured with 4K PBR textures, cleanly modeled, and optimized for both real-time and offline rendering pipelines.
