Great whistle - flute
Superb patina!
Difficult to attribute, the most similar piece I could find is in "The Menil Collection, Houston, Texas, USA", illustrated by Yale University Press 2008 and would be Nuna or Bwa
But a colleague sells one almost as close by attributing it to the Gurunsi or the Mossi
