Post medieval copper alloy hawking whistle dating to the period c. AD 1700 - 1900. The handle is cylindrical with a tapering hollow shaft with a grooved circumferential border around the aperture and two opposed rivet holes. The handle expands into two projecting arms, one forming the moulded mouthpiece, the other a tapering zoomorphic terminal in the form of a bird' head. It exhibits a long, curved beak, an engraved pattern of ferathers, now heavily worn and an engraved lenticular eye. Projecting from the rtop of the head is a pointed crest.
