Whistle depicting a smiling male figure with a cheerful expression. In his right hand he holds a rattle (chinchín), suggesting that he may represent a musician. He wears long hair adorned with a cloth diadem, pendant ear ornaments (possibly feathers), and a necklace with a horizontal pectoral tied at the front. The skirt he wears features multiple horizontal folds with knots at the front. The piece appears to represent an act of self-sacrifice, as a knife or blade pierces the male member. Mold-made with hand-finished details, with red paint applied to the body and blue to the jewelry and garments.
