Tetraphonic Ocarina - Chavín Trilogy

This hand made clay tetraphonic ocarina bears an anthropomorphic form from the Chavín period of Peruvian history. Sculpted by ethnomusicologist Jose Vitancio Humeres of Peru, it is a replica of an original design. "I think the sounds these instruments make were to create positive energy," says Vitancio Humeres. 

The shape represents the condor, puma and snake with six fingering holes and incisions.  A functional musical instrument and a brilliant piece of art. Made in Peru.
