This clay aerophone, influenced by Mesoamerican traditions, is known for its loud and disturbing sound when blown forcefully. It is said to have been used to instill fear before battles or to scare children during storytelling. The whistle, shaped like a skull, produces a different sound depending on which "eye" of the skull is covered. However, it is not used for melodic purposes but rather for its intimidating and dramatic effect.
