Gunibri
Not on view
Gunibri is a oval or rectangular plucked lute with a oval or rectangular body covered with skin which is often decorated. The body may be wood, gourd or torotise shell. Towards the lower end an opening in the skin belly reveals the forked end of the wood neck to which the strings are attached. These folk instruments, distributed from Northwest Africa (Senegal and Morroco) across North Africa, resemble ancient Egyptian lutes.
