Does anyone know what this is?

My aunt sent me this in the mail with no explanation. I think it is a 4-hole ocarina. If so, does anyone know how to play? Thanks!

I have NO idea. Maybe the best idea is to call your aunt up?

That looks complicated. It looks partially painted.

It does look like some sort of musical instrument.

It's made out of clay or something, and has a sort of glaze on top - that's where the color is. I think I may ask my aunt!

It does look like a whistle of sorts.

Have you tried it out? What does it sound like?

Yes, that is a four hole Ocarina. I have one myself but it's shaped like a bird's head. Made of clay. They are fun to play! Just put your fingers over the holes and blow like it's a recorder. Experiment with taking your fingers off different holes. They're a blast.

So, once I found out what it was, and a few songs to play on it, I can't put it down! I guess ocarina playing is my new hobby.
