Indonesian Batak Sumatran 2 String Boat Lute - Hasapi - SALE:
$45.00

This is a 2 stringed Indonesian boat lute, a traditional wooden folk instrument from the Batak people of Sumatra. It is undecorated, except for the headstock, which bears a finely carved seated human figure. Overall condition is excellent. I would guess that it was made in the 1960s or \'70s, but that\'s just a guess. It does not appear to be very old.
Length: just under 28\"
Width: about 3 3/4\"
