About

Carved Tribal String Instrument with Floral Motif

An intricately hand-carved tribal string instrument featuring a stylised animal-head finial and a hide-covered resonator. The body is richly adorned with floral and foliate motifs — each petal and leaf rendered with remarkable precision, revealing the artisan’s deep connection to nature and symbolism.Carved from a single piece of hardwood, this piece embodies both artistic expression and musical heritage. Instruments of this kind were often used in ritual and storytelling traditions among the hill tribes of Northern Thailand and Laos, serving as companions to oral poetry and communal ceremonies. Presented on a fitted display stand, it stands today as a sculptural object of heritage — bridging folk art and craftsmanship in a form that feels both ancient and contemporary.
