تفصیل
Carved finials on Mongolian stringed instruments often depict real or fantastic animals, and decoration may include Buddhist emblems. Traditionally associated with horse cult rituals and used to calm animals and accompany epic songs and dances, it has been adapted for modern urban performance. This ornate version was decorated for ceremonial state occasions.
