Shanai
The Tibetan-Buddhist instrument pairs differ from each other in details - in contrast to the Tibetan cult instruments, which are built as identical pairs. The Shanai pair VII c 1040/1041 has seven frontal tone holes and a protruding thumb hole. The tip and funnel are lavishly encased in nickel silver. The instruments have seven frontal tone holes and a protruding thumb hole. At the front of the tips there is a decoration consisting of one larger and 5 small turquoises at the top, which is repeated at the top of the funnel with one larger drop-shaped and 8 small round turquoises. A dragon with a moustache, an auspicious creature of great creative power according to Buddhist-Tibetan belief, can be seen at the bottom. The backs are decorated with a double varja, symbolising the principle of absolute strength. The pipe supports with mouthpieces are missing.
