The Mallet of Rewards is an accessory that debuted in Bayonetta 2 and appeared again in Bayonetta 3.
Appearance
Bayonetta 2: In its debut the accessory takes the form of a purple bracelet. The bottom of the bracelet looking like parts of a Japanese sliding door while the top half takes the appearance of a normal wrist band. They two pieces are use a red ribbon to connect to a small wooden mallet with gold markings and that appear like waves and has a crescent moon outline that is white on the inside of the moon placed in the centre of the mallet head. It's also has several silver bells surrounding the accessory.
Bayonetta 3: In this instalment, the accessory becomes a bracelet instead and loses the bottom while only retaining the bells and the ribbons. It also becomes smaller and gains a chain to attach it to the ear.

References
The description mentions "Okuni" as a Umbra witch. Okuni ( also known as Izumo no Okuni) was a Japanese entertainer and shrine maiden who is believed to have invented the theatrical art form of kabuki. She is thought to have begun performing her new art style of kabuki theatre in the dry riverbed of the Kamo River in Kyoto. Okuni's troupe quickly gained immense popularity, and were known for their performers, who were often lower-class women Okuni had recruited to act in her all-female theatre group. Born near Izumo Province, Okuni worked as a miko (shrine maiden) for several years at the Izumo-taisha (the Grand Shrine of Izumo) until gaining popularity for her dramatised dance performances, which onlookers gave the name of kabuki. Okuni continued to perform kabuki with her troupe until her retirement and disappearance sometime around 1610. She is believed to have died sometime around 1613.
