Dancers with pipa
The implement held by each of the dancers here is a Chinese muscial instrument called a pipa. Existence of this instrument dates back to second century B.C. It is one of the more well known musical instruments from ancient China and learning to play it with skill requires (to me at least) a good dose of latent talent. The instrument itself sure looks elegant as an implement used in dances. To see how it is played by a present-day musician, check out this link.
