"Renaissance Celtic Lyre"

Renaissance Celtic Lyre is hand-crafted from an astonishing contrast of mauve and cream ultra-figured bi-color Honduran rosewood burl. It stands 6" tall, and is carved from one solid piece of HRB, with inlaid brass frets, and a scrolled headstock. Includes handmade display stand, with HRB collar, brass rod, and mounted on a multicolored hardwood base, mounted within a glass dome. This is Old World hand craftsmanship at its best, using no computerization or chemical finishes.
