Ocarina (globular flute). 6.7 x 3.3 cm. Light-coloured body, mouthpiece painted red, polished, otherwise remains of Maya blue, unpolished. Late Postclassic (ca. 1350-5121 AD). Origin High Valley of Mexico. Uhde Collection. The instrument has a short slit-shaped aeroduct, a square cut-away and a globular resonance body with a finger hole and two eyelets for suspension. The symbolism of the applied elements is unclear. The band wrapped around the resonating body could represent a cord, a snake or the arms and tail of a monkey; the slightly curved extension has been interpreted as a bird's tail. It is possibly a "pigeon flute" (huilacapitztli). (Adje Both, 2004)
