A pewter hawking whistle of Post-Medieval (probably 18th century) date. The object is intact and in good condition. The body is cylindrical, tapering slightly towards the bottom. There is a cylindrical, rounded extension at one end, possibly for an attachment loop. A raised ring at the top separates the body section from the thinner mouth-piece. Immediately below this upper ring is the semi-circular aperture which allows the sound to escape. A second ring is located towards the bottom of the body. The whistle measures 49mm long and has a diameter of 17mm.
