    Aztec / Mayan Death Whistle Obsidian Black Skull - MADE IN USA
    We're not going
    to lie
    . The sound of the death whistle is
    the most frightening thing we've ever heard. It literally sounds like a screeching zombie. We can only imagine what it would be like to hear hundreds of whistles from an Aztec army on the march. We're not entirely certain what the whistles were used for, however. They
    may
    have been used as an intimidation tactic in war, but there's one aspect of Aztec society in which they certainly played a role: human sacrifice.
    In 1999, a 20-year-old sacrificial victim was discovered by archaeologists, clutching a death whistle in his hands. He was found in a temple to the wind god Ehecatl at Tlatelolco, suggesting to some scholars that the whistles were meant to evoke the howling wind. In any case, modern musicians and anthropologists have grown more interested in the role the whistles played in the ongoing indigenous history of Mexico.
    3D Printed from PLA+ plastic filament using fine resolution settings which take roughly twice the time to produce compared to using standard resolution settings.  Our Death Whistle will match or exceed any 3D printed Death Whistle on the market today.  We guarantee it.

    Please note, slightly changing the angle in which you blow into the whistle will produce a very loud howling/screaming sound. Use caution and protect your ears appropriately when using this whistle.
