Whistle in the shape of a rider covered with a white slip. The head of the character, probably a page, is missing. He is wearing gloves, a pourpoint with gouged sleeves and bloomers. A perforation is visible under the right armpit and in place of the horse's tail. A trace of glaze is visible on the right front leg of the horse.
