Afghanistan’s national instrument, the rubāb is also popular in northwest India and Pakistan and may be the ancestor of the sarod. Carved from a single piece of mulberry wood and covered with skin, the instrument has a lively and percussive sound. This Afghan rubāb is decorated with mother-of-pearl inlay, which accentuates the wood’s deep tones and textures.
