DescriptionInteresting and unusual ancient pottery whistle from the Colima region of west Mexico, ca. 200 to 500 A.D. Elaborately decorated standing warrior, holding shield in his left hand, bladed weapon in his right; very large plumed headdress, large ear-spools, accentuated with red and green applied pigments. Leg acts as mouthpiece and sound emanates from behind his head. 6-1/4"H x 3-1/2"W, broken and repaired with loss to bottom of blade, but whistle is fully functional whistle. A very cute ancient artifact!
