Pre-Columbian Bahia Culture Figural Ceremonial Terracotta Ocarina Vessel Flute Ecuador 500BCE-500CE

Item Details

Description

Title:Pre-Columbian Bahia Culture Ceremonial Terracotta Ocarina Vessel Flute Ecuador 500 BC-500 CE

Description: Pre-Columbian Ecuador, Bahia culture female figural pottery statue that doubles as a playable ocarina. When played, the piece mimics birdsong. Originally polychrome, the paint has faded over the ages, though remnants of it may still be seen on the shoulders, by the necklace, and on her forehead. The protruding nose, a known characteristic of the Bahia culture pottery, is intact and well defined. The front of the right foot has chipped off, but has not intruded on the hollow space within and therefore does not affect the playability, though the figure no longer stands unaided. 14

Size of piece:10.5 x 4 x 3 inches.
