Violin

The image showcases an antique violin resting inside its worn-out case, which is lined with green burlap. The violin, showing signs of age with its dark, rich wood and some visible wear, sits snugly on one side. On the other side, the case holds two bows, each crafted from dark wood and secured with green velvet loops. The case's edges reveal some fraying, indicating frequent use and transport over the years.
