Hollow egg shaped and bird shaped whistles; variations are still common in the modern sub-continent

Hollow egg shaped whistles may have been used for making music and for accompaniment to singers, a tradition that is still present in rural areas of Pakistan and India. The bird shaped whistles were probably used to amuse children and may represent pet birds such as partridges or doves.
