Antique Pre-Columbian West Mexico Blackware Pottery Standing Whistle Figure

This antique Pre-Columbian West Mexico blackware pottery standing whistle figure, modeled in an elongated form with stylized facial features, applied ear ornaments, and a pronounced headdress. The figure is decorated with incised geometric motifs and retains its functional whistle element, characteristic of ceramic traditions associated with the shaft tomb cultures of ancient West Mexico. The dark surface results from a blackware firing technique, with areas of wear revealing the underlying earthenware body.
