| NOTES | In design, this flute is very simple, offering only the simplest of notes with only three holes to change the sound. The craftsman made the piece with solid and heavy earthenware, while maintaining the subtle polychrome color, so as not to distract from its actual function. Fertility and the continuation of the bloodline were extremely important during a time of tribal communities and settlements. This instrument demonstrates the importance and the visibility of the issue. |
