This is one of the analogs of a flute in the shape of an animal. It has a small number of finger holes from 1 to 4, or even without them. The flute is made of ceramic or unburnt clay. Outside, the whistle can be decorated. This is a whistle with 3 holes, one in the mouth, two on the sides. You need to whistle in the tail. Judging by the records found, this toy was made by an elderly master as a present for his daughter’s wedding. The following is a partially translated message attached to the penny whistle.

"My dear daughter! Now you are quite an adult and you can determine your own fate. But let the old father ease your fate a bit. This is not a simple toy, if you feel sad and lonely, whistle in it and then a Friend will come to you. A friend is gentle and fluffy, playful, almost like a kitten.

If you don’t have enough strength to work, close one of the side holes and whistle again. Then the Worker will come that can carry any heavy thing. If necessary, he will become the best horse or help to plow even the largest field.

If someone dares to offend you or your family, close both side holes and whistle. Then the Protector will come, but do not be afraid of him. Whatever danger threatens you, he will protect you.

And finally, the most important thing. Maybe one day there will be such a situation that not one of them can help you. Neither gods nor people can help. Then and only then, wet this whistle with water and right in the center, where the heart, make another hole with a thin needle. Whistle into it with all your might and then there is One who can help. With great love, your old father. "
