Unfortunately a viewer damaged the rose, but I have the small missing piece. Neck and Peghead of lute, showing marquetry of maple in ebony background, engraved. Small figures are ivory. All of the decorative work done on the instruments is hand work, done mostly with the jeweler's saw. Fingerboard of a lute made in 1970.
Inlays are of ebony and ivory.
The collages of instruments, and foliage patterns along the edges are sawn out, replaced with black filler to emphasize the outlines, with details engraved and filled with ink. The first string rider is solid ivory, also engraved. Pan teaching Olympus to play the pan pipes.
