NCMA Explore Peru | Whistling Effigy Jar

This object is a whistling, double-spout-and-bridge bottle. It has a straight, open spout at one side, on the top, with a bridge-like handle leading to a closed spout on the other side. The closed spout was modeled to represent a human figure playing a musical instrument. The vessel was designed as a water pitcher that forces air through a whistle inside one chamber. https://learn.ncartmuseum.org/artwork/whistling-effigy-jar/
