Pre Columbian pottery rattles are ceramic percussion instruments (idiophones) made by ancient cultures in the Americas before European contact (roughly before 1492 CE). They were crafted from clay, often hollow with small pellets, beads, or clay balls inside that produced sound when shaken. 

These artifacts appear across various regions and cultures, including Mesoamerica (Maya, Aztec/Mexica), the Caribbean, parts of Central America, and South America (e.g., Quimbaya in Colombia, Moche in Peru). They range from simple spherical forms to elaborate figurative effigies of humans, animals, or deities.
