Large wooden whistle. Whistle is made of two pieces of wood, a back and a front, joined together at the sides. The mouth is oval in shape, with windway set inside. The neck is wrapped with strips of bark. The blade is long and slanted, rising to meet the shoulder, where many thin pieces of bark are wrapped to aid in the whistle’s joining. The body widens after the shoulder, and thin cotton thread is wrapped near the bottom. The wood has been shaved and worked to create a rounded end.
