Lyre Guitar

Cleveland Museum of Art

Dark brown wooden instrument with a long neck and curved body. The instrument has a distinctive lyre-like shape with two large sound holes, one on each side of the body. The neck is long and thin with frets and six strings. A metal rod runs across the top of the instrument, just below the tuning pegs. A small white shield-shaped inlay is on the bottom of the instrument. The background is a gradient from black at the top to gray at the bottom. The instrument stands on a flat surface. Lyre Guitar.
