Description

Clay ocarina in the shape of an animal. The rounded body of the instrument has a protruding face with a round nose and large eyes set high on the head. The mouth and a large hole under the chin (the windcutter) both open into the hollow chamber of the body. On the back of the creature is a narrow bump with a hole bored through, possibly a necklace ring, and behind this are four pitch holes. The creature has four coil legs that curl slightly on the torso and become small feet that somewhat support the ocarina.
