Description

• Two blackware bottles joined together by a common spout and a brace between the two, known as a double-spout and bridge.
• This type of earthenware vessel is given the name of "Huaco" in Peru.
• Made by the Indigenous peoples of Peru.
• One of the spouts is topped by a kneeling figure (head missing) holding an urn on its side.
• The figure is hollow and although the top is missing, it is possible to assume that it would have had a hole in one side causing a whistling sound whenever water was poured from the second, open spout.
• Whistle spouts in the Gallinazo culture were usually modeled in the form of a head or figure.
