Musical Bow

Musical bow. Busoi. Long slim flat piece of dark brown wood, very slightly bent. One end with center slot, other with decorative carving of two sets of paired spirals and a small hole, for string used to draw the bow taut. When strung, the bow is used with an independent resonator, such as a hollow pot: the curve of the bow rests on a round wood disk placed over the mouth of the pot and the string is struck with a wood stick. One end is carved with raised scroll designs and two thick horizontal bars. The opposite end has a slit on either end.
