A male figure sliding his left foot forward and his right foot backwards. His instrument is the lead instrument of the traditional Thai string ensemble (Thai: Wong Khrueang Sai), the two-stringed Saw Duang. The silk strings, stretched over an elongated body resembling a northern Thai lizard trap, are played with the help of a bow made of horse tail hair.
