OKARINA, terra cotta flute, China, Late Han period, 25-220 AD.
Overview
Okarina; a terra cotta flute. A grave find from China in an exceptionally cool condition! There was once a blue glaze layer over it, of which remnants of pigment are still visible here and there. Geometric patterns, refined and flawless!
I had a custom stand made for this object, which is of course included!
