Whistles, trumpets and rattles in animal or human form probably had ceremonial functions or served as playthings. Smaller whistles in animal shapes, perhaps worn suspended from the neck, sometimes have fingerholes that allow variation of pitch.. Pottery Whistle. Costa Rican. ca. 800-1525. Pottery. Pre-Columbian.

The ancient Egyptian equivalent of a pillow, the headrest (known to the ancient Egyptians as a weres) was used to support the head while sleeping. Broadly speaking, culturesboth ancient and modernwho use headrests share some characteristics that might make the use of this type of head support more practical. The use of headrests in climates that are hot is practice al as it lifts the head and neck above the sleeping surface, and air currents can flow under the head and cool the sleeper.

The fretwork incorporates the broken cross, or swastikaan ancient symbol in Asia that is associated in China with the character wan, which denotes the number ten thousand and symbolizes longevity. The incorporation of the symbol into an unending pattern emphasizes its meaning.Small overall geometric patterns were commonly mentioned in texts of the Song dynasty (960-1279), and "endless wan," the pattern of connected swastikas, attained dominance by the end of the Ming (1368-1644)..
