This 19th century professionally carved ivory whistle measures about 3-1/8" in height. It features a detailed bust of a bearded Roman soldier with a large plume on his helmet. On the back, there are repeating foliate designs carved in relief and on his chest, two crossed palms. CONDITION: Very good with a pleasing yellow patina. A minor age crack is on left side of mouthpiece and a small section in the front of the plume is absent and smoothed again from age. A very attractive and well-executed whistle. DMG
