Copper-alloy decorated hawking whistle with a zoomorphic projection from the whistle body, which has the appearance of a bird. Features of a beak are visible on the curving terminal with the incised eyes surrounded by a repeated incised pattern indicating feathers. The handle at a right angle to the body of the whistle. Parallels found on: http://whistlemuseum.com/2009/08/13/antique-bronze-whistle-england-medieval-period-.aspx This site attributes the style to the medieval period, however the metalwork and production appear to be consistent with a post-medieval style.
