Sculpture Saturday: Musical Instruments as Sculpture

Posted on May 16, 2020 by Andrea R Huelsenbeck

I think these instruments at the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix qualify as sculpture:

Dramnyen (plucked lute)

Detail of head carving

Slit drums

Tlalpanhuehuetl, Aztec drum (this one made in the 20th century)

Baryton (bowed and plucked lute), Austria

Detail of head carving

More Sculpture Saturday.
