The morin khuur or morin huur (from the Mongolian: морин хуур) or matouqin is a chordophone of Mongolian origin whose name roughly translates as "horse-head fiddle" in English. It is played with a bow and produces a sound which is poetically described as expansive and unrestrained, like a wild horse neighing, or like a breeze in the grasslands. It is the most important musical instrument of the Mongolian people, and is considered a symbol of the Mongolian nation. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morin_khuur

Heroine Rushing to Her Lover (Abhisarika Nayika ) Indian, Pahari, late 18th century Attributed to: The Family of Nainsukh Kangra style, Punjab Hills, Northern India Overall: 19.5 x 29.5 cm (7 11/16 x 11 5/8 in.) Opaque watercolor and gold on paper A woman walks in a wooded area on a stormy night. She turns to look behind her. Two snakes at her feet raise their heads to stare at her. She is flanked by groups of trees; the one behind her (where she looks) consists of two trees that are embracing with their branches. The theme of Abhisarika Nayika depicts a woman who is willing to cross the wilderness at night in order to meet with her lover. The snakes represent the dangers she must brave in order to satisfy her desires, while the stormy weather and the embracing trees represent her passionate nature. The image has a dark blue border.
