Sanxian (Three-Stringed Guitar)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a Sanxian, a three-stringed guitar. The instrument has a long, thin neck made of reddish-brown wood, with a distinctive T-shaped tuning peg at the top. The neck is attached to a round body covered with a snakeskin-like material featuring a diamond pattern. The body appears to be made of wood, with a darker reddish-brown color on the sides. The background of the image transitions from black at the top to gray at the bottom, with a bright white spot in the middle.
