Kobyz Bow

Description

This is a traditional bow used for playing the kobyz - a bowed string instrument in Kazakh music. The bow is essential for producing sound by creating friction against the strings.
This particular bow was used in the “Workers’ Youth” Theater named after Mukan Tulebayev, making it a culturally significant artifact that reflects a specific period of performance practice. The bow is crafted from wood, with stretched horsehair in the playing section.
