Whistling vessel

3D Model

Whistling (or sibilant) vessel, equipped with a spout-handle that appears to represent a bird. This type of container produces sound when the movement of water forces air trapped within the bridge connecting the spout to the vessel’s body, creating an intentional acoustic effect. The surface features incised decoration with geometric designs, including triangles and frets.
