Description: WHISTLE of Old God in ballgame attire, ball kicking protectors on the feet, holding a play ball, wearing a necklace and the stone halter for hitting the ball. I am listing 10 from this collection this week. Note the detail with the figures. Similar are in the MUSEO NATIONAL de ANTHROPOLOGIA, MEXICO Whistles and rattles were important for the elite when they were buried. They needed to get the attention of the gods or their high-ranking relatives at the afterlife in order to enter into the good afterlife. This is ancient PRE-COLUMBIAN Terra-cotta, JAINA island site, Mexico Note some in this collection still have traces of Maya blue pigment on the surfaces. Some intact as found, have been on site repaired and some are suitable for restoration. And some with remnants of old collection tags on underside. Condition per photographs
