Ocarinas (receptacle flutes) from South America, including Ecuador, Peru and Mexico. Made of clay, fired and partly painted, mostly with 6 holes (including 2 thumbholes on the underside), to be worn on a strap around the neck. Today, ocarinas are mostly a souvenir, but were played by the Mayans, Incas and Aztecs.
