A gourd is made out of a hollowed out plant, aptly named 'a gourd.'
If allowed to thoroughly dry out, the pulp in the gourd evaporates, leaving only the hard, dried seeds inside. When shaken, such a gourd rattles - the basis of the percussion instrument called the "maraca".

The percussion instrument shaped like a rattle and resembling a gourd is called a "maraca." Maracas are typically made from hollowed-out gourds or other materials and are filled with beads or seeds to produce sound when shaken. They are commonly used in various musical genres, particularly in Latin and Caribbean music.
A gourd. Alive the gourd is filled with water that swells the interior membranes so that nothing inside moves. When the gourd dies the water dries out allowing the inner membranes to shrink to almost nothing. The dried seeds can then rattle against the dried outer shell. Add a stick and you have a maraca.

A dipper from a gourd is made by first selecting a mature gourd, such as a calabash or bottle gourd. The gourd is then cleaned, and its top is cut off to create an opening. Afterward, the inner flesh and seeds are removed, and the gourd is dried to harden. Finally, the exterior can be polished or decorated as desired, resulting in a functional and often decorative dipper.
