Oaxacan Black Clay (Barro Negro) Vintage Fish Whistle old vice with a little wear showing

with a little wear showing in a few areas on the top of the box

I love the silhouette and interplay of parts on this one

I don't think this coffee pot has ever been used

not simply for the tourist market

could indeed be used from calling in crows and also for locating turkeys

Oaxacan Black Clay (Barro Negro) Vintage Fish Whistle old vice with a little wear showingI'm a big fan of sculptural whistles, and think this is a pretty great one. Handmade in Oaxaca, Mexico of black clay it features incised details for eyes, scales, fins, and a sort of a sun pattern at the center of each side. And it makes a great whistle by blowing into the large hole on its side near the tail, with the hole at the end of the fin functioning as a modifier for the pitch. 7" long x 4" wide x 2 1 2" tall and in great vintage condition.
