Description
The Morin Khuur, Mongolia's traditional bowstring instrument, holds deep cultural significance, symbolizing the nation and recognized as vital intangible heritage by UNESCO. Its name originates from the horse's head shaped engraving at the head of the instrument. Crafted from wood and strung with horsetail or ox tendon, the Morin Khuur's tones are produced by the artist's skillful manipulation of tension and vibration patterns while playing with a bow.This unique instrument plays a pivotal role in Mongolian and Tuvan cult ures, frequently featured in folk performances and rituals.
