An egg shaker is a hand percussion instrument, in the idiophone category, that makes a noise when shaken. Functionally it is similar to a maraca.

It is partially full of small, loose objects, such as seeds or beads, which create the percussive sounds as they collide, both with each other and with the inside surface of the container.
