Bahia Polychrome Standing Female Figural Ocarina

Item Details

Description

Pre-Columbian, Ecuador, Manabi Province, Bahia culture, ca. 5th to 1st century BCE. A hollow-built pottery female figure that doubles as a playable ocarina. Highly burnished and adorned with black, red-orange, and white hues, the stylized figure stands upon legs covered with an incised skirt bearing two tone holes, and she holds both arms atop her abdomen and beneath her breasts and beaded necklace. Her serene countenance bears a pair of coffee-bean-shaped eyes, a protruding nose with a septum ring, several ornaments on each ear, and thin lips, all beneath a simple cap. A hole behind her head functions as the mouthpiece of the instrument, and tone holes along the front and back of the leg change the pitch to create at least 2 distinct notes. Size: 3.75" W x 9.6" H (9.5 cm x 24.4 cm); 12" H (30.5 cm) on included custom stand.

Provenance: private Healy collection, Studio City, California, USA; ex-Arte Primitivo, New York, New York, USA, before 2010
