Hand MadeHuaco Silbador-Peruvian Whistling Vessel - The Happy Fox is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Replica of a double-bodied whistling vessel with a bridge handle from the Vicús culture that represents a happy fox sticking out its tongue as a sign of its happiness and satiety.
Sculpted by ethnomusicologist Jose Vitancio Humeres of Peru, it is a replica of an original design. "I think the sounds these instruments make were to create positive energy," says Vitancio Humeres. Constructed of two chambers, as well as a system of air ducts and aqueducts, the vessel is filled partially with water, and when held and tipped, pushes the air outward to create melodic sounds, through one or more whistle holes.
The whistle on this piece works with a strong sound. A functional musical instrument and a brilliant piece of art. Allow for slight variations.
Exquisitely made in Peru.
