Instrument bow of unknown origin. The stick of the bow is a cylindrical piece of wood which tapers towards the tip, it has been painted black; white decorative knobs (possibly made of plastic) have been paced on both ends of the stick. A wooden "frog" is located approximately 7 cm from the bottom of the bow, this holds the animal hair in place and keeps it from touching the stick; the frog and stick are both wrapped with black thread which keeps the bow hair tight. The bow hair attaches to the tip of the bow through a hole in which it is knotted and coated with a hard, black material.
