Oaxaca Black Pottery Barro Negro Chicken Ocarina/Whistle Folk Art from Mexico
Here is a bird-shaped (looks like a chicken to me) ocarina made from the famous Barro Negro black clay from Oaxaca, Mexico. By blowing into a hole in the "tail feathers" area (photo 7), you can play a variety of notes by placing your fingers on or off the four holes in the wings (photo 5).
Nicely detailed around the neck, comb on top of head and around the eyes.
Wingspan is just under 4 inches, meas...ures 3 1/2 inches from base to top of comb and tail to breast.
Hand made and in good overall condition with one tiny rough spot or chip at rear of left eyebrow (see photo 8). Please look carefully at all photos as they are an important part of this description.
Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
