The dhantal is a long steel rod based percussion instrument (sounding similar to the triangle), which was adapted from the iron "bows" that yoked the oxen that pulled the carts on the estates in Guyana, Surinam, and Trinidad and Tobago. The original beater was an actual horseshoe, a shape which is still retained in the dhantal's modern context as a musical instrument.
