Dolly Parton kristályokkal díszített citeráját árverezik el

A 74 éves Parton húsz éve játszik a négyhúros hangszeren.

A relikvia a Christie’s becslése szerint akár százezer dollárért (30 millió forintért) is elkelhet a még őszre tervezett online árverésen.

Before launching into her hit song ‘Jolene’, Parton quipped, ‘I never leave a rhinestone unturned’.⠀ .⠀ Swarovski-crystal bedazzled four-string dulcimer owned by Dolly Parton.
