Sarangi
A sarangi, a bowed string instrument with a carved wooden body, shown upright against a dark ground. Ivory inlay lines the neck and pegbox, and rows of tuning pegs run up the upper section. Its pale parchment-covered soundbox and fine metal strings are clearly visible.
Look closer: Pale ivory inlay pattern along the edges of the neck and pegbox.
