Chittara Battente

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Chittara Battente by Luigi Boissetto, is a stringed instrument with a long neck and a large rounded body. The instrument is brown with a decorative round area on the front and two curves on either side of two vertical lines. The tuning pegs are on the head of the neck. A fretboard runs along the neck. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The object casts a shadow on the right.
