This Thai xylophone, also known as Ranat ek, is made of teak and rosewood.
Its pirogue-shaped rosewood body is richly carved with fanciful motifs, flowers and scrolls.
The 21 rosewood blades are suspended above the resonance chamber.
This traditional instrument is accompanied by two mallets.
For the record, the word xylophone is a 19th-century neologism derived from the ancient Greek word for wood, "Xylo", and voice or sound, "Phon".
This xylophone can be used for its original purpose or as a unique decorative object.
