Model based on a characteristic Chimú whistling vessel type. Made from authentic materials, approximate size. The whistle is located in the bird’s peak. This whistling vase does not present the secondary resonator common in many original Chimú artefacts. You cannot even play, but also respire and produce the sounds of gurgling water. You could also pour out the liquid inside through the birds peak.
