    Notes from appraiser:
    "This instrument appears to have "gold" or "gilding applied. This is sheets of thin gold layers ( yes real gold) as you can see the seams and also the bits of loss here and there. This is a very meticulous art to preserve the gold on the piece of the wood for the years to come. The Dragon on the end represents a Deity or a mythological character.
    It is said that this instrument was developed from Persian lutes which were commonly played in the Mughul durbars.   This Sitar is most unusual and is a class alone." (O'Keefe,Valuethisnow.com,2020)
    This is an antique . Early 20th Century. It needs to be tuned.
