Hi.

I am trying to find a date for the miniatures, sometime in the late Sassanian period I think.
I would be interested to see the picture you mentioned too.

Hello,
That is an Uyghur language manuscript from Turpan from VIII.century.
This picurtue was cover Hungarian edition of the maniaichean Pearl Authems book.
I think this instument really looks like a cobza....

Hi .
Wow!
Thank you for that information!
Much appreciated.
True, I will find out more about the cobza.
It also looks very much like the of Nanyin pipa (China & Taiwan) and the Gagaku biwa in Japan.
This makes sense as the Chinese records plainly state that this instrument was imported from Central Asia.
