This cloisonné Ruan (Chinese lute) is a palace instrument that combines functionality with artistic elegance. Made on a copper body, it is decorated with cloisonné enamel craftsmanship, featuring a sky-blue enamel ground that exudes refinement. The surface is adorned with floral and bird motifs in vibrant colors, symbolizing auspiciousness and beauty. The circular body and long neck with brass tuning pegs are well-proportioned, highlighting both the musical function and the decorative artistry of cloisonné. This instrument is not only a fine palace musical piece but also a highly collectible work of art.
