Ancient Afghan musical instrument "Saranji"
Rare entirely hand-carved musical instrument, found many years ago in Afghanistan by a great traveler. It is a lute probably coming from Nakhi or Naxçivan, the ancient city that owes its origins to the Nakh tribe. I prudently dated it from the 18th century, but it is probably much older. cm. 53 x 20 width x prof. 15 cm. nr. referenc. O / 5308
