Artistic replica based on original finds of the Great Ballcoart, Aztec Templo Mayor. Engobe finish, approximate size. The whistle is located in the bird’s peak. The tube attached to the mouthpiece allows for producing eagle cries and even simulating the echo of an eagle circling above a valley. In playing with vibrating lips, strange trumpet-whistle sounds can be produced.
