Description

Clay ocarina has a rounded, bulbous body, with the mouthpiece set low and containing a windway with a windcutter below. The instrument has two conical legs, above which emerges a figure with protruding arms, head and face. Below the chin is a thick rounded curve, decorated with a slightly protruding and incised coil of clay, that serves as a necklace ring. On the top of the instrument four pitch holes have been bored through to the ocarina’s hollow inner chamber. The instrument is decorated across the top with incised lines and circles.
