"Tsii' Edo' Ai", meaning "bow and arrow" in the Apache language, is a traditional musical instrument created by Lawrence Gotelay between 1882 and 1892. This unique musical instrument, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, consists of a bow made of wood and a hollow cylinder. The cylinder features intricate painted geometric patterns in vibrant colors, a testament to the artistic traditions of Apache culture. This piece is a compelling example of the intersection of art, music, and cultural heritage.
