This beautiful ocarina is a rare piece due to its subject matter. It is more common to find these charming whistles in the shape of animals rather than human beings. However, it is an incredible piece, highly decorated and carefully designed. The figure itself sits with its legs outstretched and its hands placed gently to the side of the body. The hair on the head is divided by a large parting, which may be for the placement of the hand. The back has no decoration except for a single hole, which provides sound. The face is carefully applied with all the required features and balances the decoration, creating a truly unique piece.
