This clue could be a double definition.

'like an egg' is the first definition.

'it's blown' is the second definition.
(ocarina is a kind of wind instrument)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ocarina that I've seen before include "Egg-shaped wind instrument with finger holes" , "Flute-toned musical toy" , "Wind instrument with a mouthpiece and finger holes" , "Simple wind instrument" , "Small egg-shaped wind instrument with holes for the fingers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
