Whistling jar Date Unknown

The "Whistling jar" is a ceramic vessel created by the Moche culture of ancient Peru. The jar is formed in the shape of a bird, with a rounded body, a long, curved neck, and a detailed head with a beak. The jar is believed to have been used for both ceremonial and practical purposes. It is an example of the Moche's highly skilled pottery making, which often incorporated naturalistic and mythical representations. The jar’s red-brown color is characteristic of the Moche ceramic style.
