Title
KENT-7A9CC9 - A complete possible Medieval to Post-Medieval bone whistle
Description
English: A complete possible Medieval to Post-Medieval bone whistle or a fragment of a musical instrument. The object consists of a rectangular piece of bone with a perforation running through the entirity of the length. At one end, the bone has been carved on one side to form a tapered area with a large sub-circular opening; this end presumably functioned as a mouth-piece. One face of the object is smooth and decorated, the other face, with the tapering mouth has three straight grooves carved or possibly burnt into the bone. The other terminal has a small stone lodged in the opening. The object has an elongated oval cross-section.

The object measures 54.7 mm in length, 22.7 mm wide, 10.7 mm thick and 13.29 g.
