Syria Palaestina, Terracotta Bird (Owl?) Whistle, c. 2nd Millennium B.C.
|Terracotta| |Antiquities|, |Syria| |Palaestina,| |Terracotta| |Bird| |(Owl?)| |Whistle,| |c.| |2nd| |Millennium| |B.C.|, From the collection of Alex G. Malloy, former dealer in antiquities for 40 years.

This whistle, a child's toy, now about 3000 year old, still functions perfectly! Cover the hole on the bottom with your thumb, blow into a slot in the tail, then move your thumb away to uncover the hole - the result is a nice high pitched tone. There are three small holes in the top which may support the sound or perhaps small feathers were inserted them to simulate wings.
AS20864. Choice, complete and intact, Terracotta bird (owl?) whistle, c. 2nd millennium B.C., 5.6 cm long, cream-beige terracotta, functional whistle with nice high pitched tone, tips of the ears missing, otherwise complete and intact, unmounted; SOLD
