WHISTLE

Unique ID: NMGW-159973

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Published

Lead alloy or pewter hawking whistle of Post medieval date, possibly dating from the 18th century. The whistle is cast in the form of a dog’s head with a wide collar decorated with a ring and dot design. The dog is biting on an iron pin, which presumably would have formed a suspension ring.

Notes:

The whistle is very similar to an example displayed in Benets Artefacts (2003) No P20-0301, p. 594; but appears to differ in the absence of a iron suspension loop on the published example.
