- Lot Description
**Originally Listed At $250**
Pre-Columbian, Ecuador, Guangala, ca. 100 to 800 CE. An impressive pottery whistle presenting with the form of a figure's torso at the top with a tubular shaft and tapered mouthpiece. The ancient figure is shown with both arms bent at the elbows and hands on his chest below a broad collar necklace. His visage features closed eyes, a prominent, triangular nose, and a straight, slightly open mouth, all flanked by a pair of stylized ears and topped with a helmet-like headdress. The figure's incised navel serves as the whistle's blow hole and a flared motif is featured behind his head. Please note that Lucite stand is for photography purposes only. Size: 6" L x 1.125" W x 1.625" H (15.2 cm x 2.9 cm x 4.1 cm)
This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full report will accompany purchase.
