FROM THE MUSEUM
馆方怎样介绍它
以下为克利夫兰艺术博物馆英文原文，保留其原始表述。
The stringed instrument known as the sitar usually provided the central sound for the musical performances that were a constant feature of court life in India. A sitar, unlike a vina, has movable frets, which are raised metal strips across the fingerboard. When their position is moved, the pitch of the notes changes.
The size of the gourd on this small sitar was selected to resemble an ostrich egg, the material used for novelty sitars during the 19th century. They were mainly for display and played only on rare occasions by a woman or child. Bengal was a center for the production of decorative instruments.
