A Bajoran cabasa

The Bajoran cabasa is a small percussive musical instrument that plays a role during Bajoran births.

For Bajoran women, it is important to be relaxed during birth, so her relatives play different instruments in a repeating rhythm to provide a relaxed atmosphere.

During Kirayoshi O'Brien's birth in 2373, the Bajoran woman Y'Pora, who was trained in childbirth, played a Bajoran cabasa. (DS9: "The Begotten")
