Description:

Pre-Columbian, Maya heartland, ca. 300-900 CE. Two red-slipped 4-hole ocarinas, both very high pitched (one much higher than the other). When played together they produce an overtone sound. These two ocarinas were surely used in shamanic healing ceremonies to connect to the spirit world, as the overtones produced when they are played together have a very powerful effect on the brain. 4"H. Provenance: Ex-L. Kalina Collection, ex-Stein Collection, NY. The starting price is the lowest price at which the piece can sell.
