A ceramic whistle crafted in the form of a falcon head, featuring an intricately incised geometric body adorned with a bird motif. The design is painted with vibrant pigments in earthy brown, green, red, and white, showcasing the skilful use of colour and detail characteristic of Paracas culture. This artefact reflects the Paracas people's sophisticated artistic traditions and deep connection to nature, particularly birds, which often held symbolic significance in their cosmology. The whistle likely served a ceremonial or ritualistic purpose, highlighting the culture's rich spiritual and artistic heritage.

Pottery, the whistle modelled around a falcon head with incised geometric body below including a bird motif, painted a brown/green and red and white pigment.
