Hand Made
This hand made clay ocarina bears an anthropomorphic form from the Chavín period of Peruvian history. Sculpted by ethnomusicologist Jose Vitancio Humeres of Peru, it is a replica of an original design. "I think the sounds these instruments make were to create positive energy," says Vitancio Humeres.
Constructed of two whistles as well as a system of air ducts with 5 finger holes it can play 6 notes while maintaining two separate sounds, one from each whistle. Exquisitely made. The whistle on this piece works with a strong sound. A functional whistling vessel and a brilliant piece of art. Made in Peru.
