The instrument Pipa by artist has a teardrop-shaped body made of dark wood with a long neck and a distinctive headstock. The body is smooth and rounded, narrowing towards the top to form the neck. There are four strings attached to the bottom of the body and four tuning pegs at the top of the neck. A small decorative piece featuring a carving of an animal's head, possibly a dragon or a mythical creature's head with two protruding pieces on either side. The instrument has 15-17 frets. The background is gray.
