2022.0157.585 by Meso & Central American Sound Library Project

Tubular flute with a constricted outlet pipe and an airduct assembly whose main resonator has been drilled with three finger holes (one of which is protuberant). The distal outlet of the constricted exit tube can be used as a fourth finger hole.
This Santa Clara-type aerophone featuring a human figure with an elaborate headdress was manufactured in the Atlantic Watershed archaeological region of central Costa Rica during the late El Bosque A (AD 100-300) or early El Bosque B (AD 300-500) phases. This flute was formerly part of the Ton Stolk private collection. Eva & Ton (1932-2021) founded the "Muziekinformatie- en Documentatiecentrum Ton Stolk" in Vlaardingen (The Netherlands). www.mim.be/en/ton-stolks-collection.

The MCASL Project aims to share, visually and sonically, a sample of the large pre-Columbian era sound-producing artifacts collection from Mesoamerica and Central America housed at the Royal Museums of Art and History (KMKG-MRAH), Brussels. The development of this audio/data library is part of Jean-François Brohée's doctoral research, funded by a FRESH grant of the F.R.S.-FNRS.
