Surfing the Web I find a curious object called rattle or maternity musical ball, also known as "angel caller". Will this be the amulet of some mothers during childbirth?
These maternity musical balls are designed to be used by the future mother as a necklace, with the little rattle resting in the lower part of her belly. Therefore, the soft sound that occurs when she walks or moves reaches the baby in the womb.
It is around 20 weeks of pregnancy when the baby can hear and enjoy the relaxing sound of the rattle, which I imagine will have to be intense enough, along with the mother's body sounds and voice.
Once the baby is born, it is assumed that the sound of the maternity ball will continue to comfort him, or at least it will be as entertaining as any pendant we carry or rattle that we make sound. I have also seen that the pending version of these rattles is sold, although this function of accompanying the baby in the mother's womb is lost.
What the legend says about these has struck me Callers angeles. It is said that some good pixies had to flee from a forest where dangers were stalking them. These elves had "among their group of friends" some angels who had the detail of giving them a pendant with a ball that had small bells inside that made it ring.
The angels told them that when they felt in danger or unprotected, they would shake the ball and when they heard the bells they would come to their aid. Of course, they were warned that the angel caller was for personal and personal use and should never be given because then the magic would disappear. The pixies called this ball "angel callers."
A curious story for a beautiful object in different styles and materials for all tastes, the maternity musical ball or angel caller that accompanies the mother and the baby with their rocking and their sound, before and after birth.
