Description:		A hollow cast lead water whistle, most probably representing a cockerel, features on the bird include a comb on the head, wattles on the neck and exaggerated tail feathers. Fragments of the missing base of the water chamber are visible inside the base on which the bird is mounted. A circular pipe projects downwards from beneath the tail feathers, the upper section of the pipe which terminated with the mouth-piece and projected upwards probably in a dog-leg fashion is also missing. Vestiges of red and black paint are visible on the body and base.  Image four is of similar construction,  courtesy of John Winter's Blog.
