This is Sand, Roots & Blossom by Rihab Azar, a female oud player from Syria.
Fun fact: a Syrian female oud player was the subject of Turkish novelist Fatma Aliye Hanın's 1898 novel Udi, which is based on the true story of Bedia from Aleppo who uses her oud as a means of resistance against patriarchy and the hardships of life. After her father's death and divorcing from her unfaithful husband, her
oud becomes her “most loyal friend.

@cassana Never seen a pick like that before. What’s the advantage of that shape?
