There are two encircling triple ribbed bands with faint longitudinal engraved lines of varying length pointing towards the centre of the body, and further lines emanating from the rear of the second band towards the foot. On the underside next to the first band are two scars from a separately soldered loop, now missing. The rear of the body is blocked by iron corrosion. There is no trace of any marks. Length 55mm. Maximum diameter of body (excluding band) 9mm. Diameter of rear band 11mm.Similar whistles are recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database including SF-E12DD7 (Burrough Green, Cambridgeshire) and, more elaborately decorated, IOW-954403 (Shalfleet, Isle of White), KENT-E37973 (Upchurch, Kent), SF-C2EE32 (Near Diss) and NMS-CBE4B1 (Somerton, Norfolk HER56917).16th - possibly 17th century.
