Pipa. Period: Ming dynasty (1368-1644). Date: late 16th–early 17th century. Wood, ivory, bone, silk. The pear-shaped lute slowly migrated from Central Asia into China during the Han and Sui dynasties (1st-7th century). Until the mid-tenth century, the pipa was held horizontally, and its twisted silk strings were plucked with a large triangular plectrum. Toward the end of the Tang dynasty, musicians began using their fingernails, and the instrument began to be held in a more upright position.
