English term or phrase: ritual tool
I am working on a project where there are Japanese shrines with "ritual tools" inside them.

In this context, I have looked at what could be a good translation for "ritual tool", but found no definitive answer using Google or dictionaries.

These are old tools mostly used for torture or sacrifices.

Example: "The ritual tool shrine contains many different things."

I was pondering some alternatives, such as:
- ritualinstrumenter
- rituelle instrumenter
- rituelle verktøy
- rituelle redskaper

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

rituelle redskaper
Explanation:
Jeg ville brukt "rituelle redskaper". Da er du ganske sikker, fordi redskaper jo kan dekke veldig mye.

I tillegg finner du det brukt i andre religiøse beskrivelser som i eksempelet nedenfor.

I would use 'rituelle redskaper' that can be any ritual gadget and not necessarily a tool

e.g Et skrin med rituelle redskaper
