This Qin, a seven-stringed zither, was crafted in 1634 by Prince Lu, a member of the Ming Dynasty royal family. The instrument, carved from a single piece of wood, features a sleek black body with ivory tuning pegs and fret markers. This Qin, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases the exquisite craftsmanship and artistic tradition of the Ming Dynasty.
