Whistling jars are pottery vessels from Chimu culture of North Coast, Peru, that date back to 1000–1476 CE. The jars are often decorated with bird's heads that conceal whistle and smaller whistles may have fingerholes to adjust pitch. The sounds jars make depend on their size, shape, and fluid levels. These unique instruments or shamanic tools as we will later discuss, are called whistling vessels or otherwise known in Spanish as huaco silbadors.
