This charming whistle or Ocarina embodies the
traits of the monkey, which is a common animal
in the country of Costa Rica. However, the artist
has designed it in such a way, that we are
undeniably charmed by its appearance. The
small, decorated hat and the tripod effect to
allow it to stand, create a unique instrument,
seen nowhere else. The deep brown colored
earthenware, highlights the simple yet elegant
incised designs, creating a tremendously
desirable piece. Many of the features on the
monkey are applied onto the body, such as the
arms and the ears. Yet as a whole they create the
beautiful elegance of ancient design that remains
timeless.
