My girlfriend just went to the UK and brought me back a strange musical instrument. What is it?

Question

This instrument is, at it's simplest, a whistle. But there's two of them, set on opposite sides of a block of wood. In simplest.

I have not idea exactly what it is or how to play it, it is not a penny whistle or similar instrument.

I wish I could attach a picture...

It's painted to look like a giraffe.

Thank you for your help!

a Launeddas perhaps?
