Nicaraguan ceramic owl ocarinas from artisan group Oyanca Artesania come in assorted colors. When played, this ocarina sounds like an owl! The ocarina is a type of vessel flute. Ocarinas are different from whistles in that they have finger holes that allow them to make different pitches. Ocarinas are used throughout the Andes, and have their origin in pre-Colombian times. Ocarinas come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They are often used to imitate birds or to call livestock in the mountains.

Oyanca Artesania, based in Managua, works with artisans in both rural and urban areas of Nicaragua. Fifty percent of the artisans are women. Oyanca Artesania was founded in 2001 by Tamara Pereira to provide increased export opportunities for Nicaraguan ceramic artisans. In their ceramic pieces, Oyanca artisans combine the best of traditional Nicaraguan culture with contemporary design.
