display case containing musical instruments in the Ethnographic Department of the Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography (Kunstkamera) in Saint Petersburg, Russia
Momentdisplay case containing musical instruments in the Ethnographic Department of the Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography (Kunstkamera) in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The primary object is an oval-shaped gong instrument constructed from wood and metal. Numerous small, bronze-colored gongs are suspended from the wooden frame by white cords. Some of the gongs are visible from the top, showing their convex surface and central boss, while others are viewed from the side or bottom. The frame itself is made of curved wooden pieces, with smaller wooden dowels connecting the inner and outer rings. In the lower part of the display, a flat, golden-colored stringed instrument lies horizontally. It has a streamlined shape with several holes and is strung with thin wires. To the left of this instrument, a grey, rectangular block supports two thin, metallic rods, possibly mallets for playing the gongs. The background is a muted grey wall, and reflections from the glass display case are visible, including indistinct human shapes and a light source. The overall impression is that of a museum exhibit, with objects presented for viewing.
