fiddle

Single-stringed spiked musical instrument called a rebabah or rababah. Made of wood, metal and skin. The box formed of two pieces of skin at front and back stretched over a wooden frame with incurved sides and sewn together at the sides. The wood stem with single peg passes through the box and ends in a spike at the base, where it is not fixed but slides up through the box. The string missing. Played with a horsehair bow (missing).
