Painting by théobald chartran showing a light-skinned egyptian girl playing a long-necked lute. Although named for the mandore, it bears no resemblance to that short-necked instrument. The instrument played in the picture is closer to an egyptian lute, or possibly a coptic lute. Also resembles the sintir, but a smaller and higher pitched version of that bass instrument.
