EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enchanting moment of a Lady Musician from Izmir, Turkey, as she plays the ancient and gnostic Setar, also known as a Sehtar or Setouyeh. Dating back to circa 1907, this image transports us back in time to the Ottoman Empire, where the Setar was most often played at the gatherings of dervishes, held in Khaneqahs or monasteries and houses of dervishes. The Setar, a stringed instrument, was believed to induce a trance-like state in both the musician and the listener, creating an otherworldly experience. The Lady Musician from Izmir, with her expressive face and focused gaze, seems to be lost in the music, her fingers gracefully strumming the strings of the Setar. The intricate design of the instrument, with its long neck and multiple strings, is on full display, adding to the mystical atmosphere of the scene. The Setar holds a significant place in Turkish culture, particularly in the cities of Izmir and Smyrna, which were once part of the Ottoman Empire. The instrument was often used in Zawiya, Ribat, Tekke, and Khaneqa, spiritual centers where dervishes would gather to practice their faith and seek enlightenment. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering us a glimpse into the rich musical and cultural heritage of Turkey. It is a reminder of the power of music to transport us to another time and place, to evoke emotions and inspire the soul.
