1490 - Lute 5 course

The instrument is placed on view with the back at slats on the bottom shelf of a narrow window surmounted by a cabinet with the doors open above which is placed one cage with a bird. Behind the instrument you see the landscape outside. The neck of the instrument is facing the observer and held in place by a cord tied to the nail driven in the right jamb. Are obvious the 8 gut keys tied to the neck and the shape of the pegbox, with 9 pegs with a head heart-shaped, for the armor at five courses (4 doubles and sing simple). Are clearly visible on the soundboard the pierced rosette with the design of a flower with 16 petals and the bridge.
