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：球形红褐色粘土物体，口部扁平，颜色为深红色（火后绘画），底部有雕刻投影；一个指孔；吹口后面的耳垂穿孔；表面浮雕的风格化的鸟和蛇图案。
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: Spheroidal reddish brown clay object with flattened mouthpiece colored dark red (post-fire painting), and incised projection at base; one fingerhole; pierced lobe behind mouthpiece; stylized bird and serpent designs in relief on surface.
