Description

Small, clay ocarina in the shape of an animal. The body is globular, balancing on three conical legs. The head has a protruding snout and eye, with a windway that opens above a round windcutter in the centre of the animal’s chest. Behind the head is a necklace hole. A round knob of a tail is attached at the back of the body and two small pitch holes pierce low on the sides into the instrument’s hollow centre.
