Description

Clay ocarina. The body is bulbous and squat with a long mouthpiece extending to the front with a windway that opens on a windcutter bored into the body on the underside. Four pitch holes are bored into the top in an evenly spaced square, surrounded by incised dot and line decoration. Behind is a protruding nub with a necklace hole. A ridge circles the back of the body at the midpoint, decorated with incised lines. On the bottom of the instrument is a slightly protruding face with vertical slits for eyes, a large round nose with prominent nostrils and a thick lipped mouth.
