The Ocarina is a type of whistle that was played as an instrument in ancient times. However, they are especially known for their beauty and charm. The protruding eyes and beak along with the careful incision decoration throughout the body lend a decisive charm to the piece, which are complimented by the buff brown clay. The wings are gently molded onto the body and the two feet and tail act as supports. The charm of this piece in undeniable as is the charming expression and features.
