Pī chawā

The Thai Pī chawā has seven frontal tone holes and a thumb hole between the first and second finger holes. This example has a conical body and a barrel-shaped and cylindrical bell. The funnel, apparently damaged at the lower edge, was repaired with a green-painted brass mantle with two beads. A metal coating adorns the second finger hole. The top of the body is surrounded by a copper ring.
