The belly is one-piece of fine spruce of medium-small and parallel grain. The back is two-piece of curly maple, pearl flamed and descending to the right. There are traces of six gilt fleur-de-lys on the beaks near the joint and four flower decorations towards the corners. The ribs are of flamed maple with remainings of the motto QVO VNICO PROPVGNACVLO STAT STABITQUE RELIGIO and a geometrical pattern near the CCs. The scroll is not original.
