Une gousse de flamboyant séchée et peinte, figure une femme allongée avec une coiffe rouge, inscription "Guadeloupe". Les graines conservées à l'intérieur de la gousse, en font un instrument de musique selon le principe du chacha. Lorsque les graines sont absentes, il devient un instrument à friction : on frotte les empreintes avec un objet quelconque dans un mouvement de va-et-vient. L'objet ici est destiné aux touristes, le plus souvent la gousse de flamboyant n'est pas décorée.
