Miniature Whistle Pendant and Anne Boleyn
By family tradition, Henry VIII’s first gift to Anne Boleyn was a gold and enamel ‘pendant in the form of a pistol, chased with scrolling foliage’. A snake is entwined around the barrel and it contains ‘a set of tooth and ear picks, with spear, scythe, and spatula shaped blades. The whistles were designed like pieces of jewellery and used to summon servants and hounds. The pendant is now housed in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
