LUTH called Hasapi
Toba Batak culture, North Sumatra, Indonesia
Late 19th - early 20th century
Wood
H. 57.5; L. 8.5 cm
(restorations)

Carved monoxyle lute with two strings (missing), naviform body, flat back and resonator pierced by an elongated sound hole. The tapered neck, which lacks the two pegs formerly placed in the two circular cavities, features a pegbox carved with an anthropomorphic figure seated on an openwork capital.

This musical instrument was used for religious rituals or wedding parades, accompanied by a second hasapi, a flute and a xylophone.
