Entada gigas pod, commonly known as the monkey-ladder, is a species of flowering liana in the pea family. It is notable for the family's largest seedpods. A curious object of furniture for the home and office. Can be used as music instrument as well. When you shake the sea bean it makes a loud sound from the shaking beans inside.
