The "Whistle" is a small ceramic sculpture of a standing figure created by the Maya civilization between 600-900 AD. Found at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, the figure is depicted with arms crossed, holding a ceramic object that could possibly be a whistle. The figure's detailed, stylized features are characteristic of Mayan art, with a focus on expressive forms and symbolic representation. The sculpture's intricate details and use of color demonstrate the artistry of the Maya people.
