Sitar

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Sitar by unknown artist depicts a stringed musical instrument with a pear-shaped body and long neck. The instrument has a reddish-brown color and features a flat, wide base that tapers into a long neck with 20-25 movable frets. There are 7 main strings and several sympathetic strings. A decorative border adorns the top of the neck, and there are several tuning pegs on the side. The background of the image is a gradient of dark gray to light gray.
