Large player!

Gourd is 15" tall and over 40" around; beautiful natural texture and 1320 beads!! Nobody has a shekere like this. That is a 2L bottle for size reference.

Asking $149 shipped (lots of materials, time). Many musicians think I should charge way more for this one.

Would entertain a swap for a decent set of bongos: Meinl Luis Conte series, or Toca Traditional series, or something in that middle vein (not bottom line; not top-end signature either).

That is agbe (og-bey) size. It is a very beautiful instrument. I would sell it for a lot more. You have commercial shekeres that cost a lot more that doesn't come close to what you have created. If you decide to do a swap, get high-end, high-quality signature bongos for it. Your instrument is worth it. Don't sell your skills and talents cheap.
