A wood and horsehair musical bow features a long, reddish-brown rod tapering toward the right. At the left end, a hooked wooden piece is lashed with tan fiber cord wrapped around the joint. A bundle of dark horsehair stretches horizontally between this hook and the rod's far end. Small, rounded knobs cap both tips of the smooth body, which glows against a dark, graduated background.
