Featuring the classic triangular resonant body, this 3-string folk instrument serves as a stunning canvas for an intricate, hand-painted lacquer art scene done in the famed Palekh miniature style. The vibrant composition features a lively village celebration complete with a performance by a trained dancing bear, traditional horn and flute players, and a stylized golden onion-dome church set against a glossy black lacquer background. Finished with delicate gold filigree borders, this exceptional cultural piece makes an unforgettable display accent for any global decor collection, music room, or eclectic gallery wall. See less
