Dating back to the 5th - 4th century BC during the Iron Age in North Yorkshire, this musical pipe is crafted from a perforated sheep bone.

The intricate carving on this prehistoric artifact highlights the skill and creativity of its maker. As we admire its delicate craftsmanship, we can imagine the haunting melodies that once emanated from this wind instrument. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our innate desire for self-expression through music.
