Clay ocarina is composed of two nearly identical sides connected at top and bottom with a thin neck of clay. Each side has a long neck with a wider body, topped by a protruding nub. A wide incision at the mouth separates airflow into two chambers (windways), and each side of the instrument has its own windcutter beneath. Each also has a single pitch hole at the opposite end from the mouthpiece. The top of the ocarina is decorated with orange and dark brown pigment in circles and lines. The bottom is undecorated and two tiny nubs serve as legs.
