The funerary rites of the Colima of Western Mexico (C.300 B.C-600 A.D.) required that the deceased be interned in the presence of friendly spirits with unfriendly spirits driven away. To accomplish this, the funeral procession played terra cotta whistles resembling human skulls, capable of producing several notes. This example, of characteristic dark orange terra cotta, retains considerable black polished finish surfaces as found on Colima pottery and seen on vessels and canine figures. 2.20 length.
