Description: | An incomplete post-medieval silver huntsman's whistle . The whistle has been cut from silver sheet, rolled and soldered together. One end is broken across the remains of a perforation where the mouthpiece is missing, and has a patch of solder for a missing attachment on the longitudinal seam. The central part of the body and the open end are separated by a discoidal collar soldered on to the body. This collar comprises a length of silver wire passing through multiple smaller silver wire hoops. The open end is decorated with staggered opposed engraved triangles, containing lines of varying length, creating a reserved radial zigzag. Two of originally three soldered wire loops survive, evenly spaced around the radius, the position of the missing loop is indicated by a blob of solder. There is an applied collar of twisted double-strand wire around the open end. Diam.11mm at mouth, 14mm at collar of multiple rings. Length 50mm. Weighs 7.30g. See NCL-E5B597 and 2005 T96. 16th century.
