Whistle

A small rooster-shaped flute-like whistle made of clay. Hollow on the inside, the figurine has two holes in its tale and two smaller ones on both sides of the body. The latter two indicate that it is not an ordinary whistle, but rather a vessel flute that can be used to play simple melodies or imitate cuckoo cries. It was made in a pottery workshop in Skomielna Biała as a commodity to be sold at one of Krakow's spring festivals – Emaus or Rękawka.
