介绍（中）	中美洲和南美洲的拟人化和动物化陶瓷人物的生产起源于大约6500年前的哥伦比亚安第斯地区，然后沿着西海岸传播，从厄瓜多尔到智利北部和阿根廷，最后向北进入中美洲尽管在征服前的南美洲和中美洲保留了许多类型的乐器，但人们对它们的使用方式知之甚少。口哨通常是以动物或人类的形式制作的，可能具有仪式功能或用作玩具。较小的动物形状的口哨，可能悬挂在脖子上，通常有指孔，可以改变音高。有时，它所产生的声音会模仿所代表的生物描述：红褐色，深蹲，宽颈粘土容器，容器边缘装饰有猴子面具，具有间断和切割的特征；一个倾斜的倾倒口是一个独立的哨子室；喷口的上部是实心的，末端有一个假开口；吹过喷口中心的一个洞的哨子。
介绍（英）	The production of anthropomorphic and zoomorphic ceramic figures in Central and South America originated about 6,500 years ago in the Andes region of Colombia, then spread along the west coast, from Ecuador to northern Chile and Argentina, and finally farther north into Central America. Although numerous types of instruments survive from pre-conquest South and Central America, little is known of how they were used. Whistles were often made in animal or human form and probably had ceremonial functions or served as playthings. Smaller whistles in animal shapes, perhaps worn suspended from the neck, frequently have fingerholes that allow variation of pitch. Sometimes, the sound it creates mimics the creature represented. Description: Reddish-brown, squat, wide-necked container of clay ornamented with monkey mask on rim of vessel, with punctuated and incised features; what appears to be an inclined pouring spout is an independent chamber for the whistle; upper section of spout is solid, with a false opening at the end; whistle played by blowing across a hole in the center of the spout.
