3D Model

Anthropomorphic whistle in the form of the Maize God in a dancing pose, with the heel of the right foot slightly raised. The left hand rests on the hip, while the right arm is directed upward. He wears an elaborate headdress made of maize leaves and a loincloth with a belt decorated with beads. Among the surrounding foliage, a maize cob (mazorca) and a bird can be distinguished. Two additional small animals, a small deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and an opossum (Didelphis marsupialis), are positioned on either side of his legs. The blowing mouthpiece is located on the lower part of the piece.
