A cast lead alloy (possibly pewter) fragment possibly from a whistle of post medieval or early modern date (1650 - 1900 although probably 19th century). The fragment consists of the lower part of the cylindrical body of the whistle and the perforated knop shaped terminal with a slight lip. The outer surface is decorated with a series of cast crosses and flowers. The artefact is a mid grey colour with a slightly shiny grey surface. There are little signs of corrosion, and the break although unabraded is relatively old. Several similar examples to this whistle are recorded on the PAS da…
