StatisticheChimú whistling vessel
The movement of water contained in these vessels produced a whistling sound. Shaking the vessel from side to side caused the water to pass through a hollow tube into the adjoining chamber. The movement of the water created a flow of air, which emerged with a whistling sound from the top of the vessel. This whistling ceramic is monochrome, in common with the majority of Chimú society ceremonial pottery. The surface was polished and minimally decorated. The Chimú were not the only culture to make whistling vessels. The Chancay, Lambayeque, Vicús, Virú, as well as other ancient Peruvian cultures, produced this type of pottery, incorporating their own respective stylistic characteristics.
