A pair of carved bone or wood blades loosely hinged or strung together at one end, clicked together in rhythm by dancers and celebrants. The hollow clack carries a percussive, rhythmic snap well-suited to folk dances and sacred processionals. Children learn to keep time with clappers before mastering drums or pipes.
