This object is a whistling, double-spout-and-bridge bottle. It has a straight, open spout at one side, on the top, with a bridge-like handle leading to a closed spout on the other side. The closed spout was modeled to represent a human figure playing a musical instrument. The vessel was designed as a water pitcher that forces air through a whistle inside one chamber. When water is poured out of it, the air creates a whistling sound. When the mouthpiece is blown, the nose of the human figure also makes a whistling sound.
