screenprinted by Simple Print Studio back image - whistle, ancient Peru created between 1200 and 500 BCE visuals by Nico
each whistle in the group of four has a large hole in the back into which the user would blow to create a sound and usually four smaller holes on the sides. These smaller holes allowed the tone to be modulated as the musician altered the number of open holes with their fingertips. the use of whistles in what may have been specific festivals or ceremonies persisted on both the north and south coasts of Peru throughout the development of subsequent cultures.
