The Vielle à Roue (Hurdy-Gurdy) by Jacques Decante is a stringed musical instrument with a wooden body. The body is boat-shaped, with a black stripe running along the middle. The instrument has a long neck with a carved headstock at the end, featuring a carved face. There are three pegs on top of the headstock. A long, thin piece of wood extends from the neck, with a wheel rubbing against the strings. The wheel is housed in a rectangular box with a handle on the side. There are 24 keys on the front of the instrument, and a long, braided cord is attached to the bottom. The cord is looped around the base of the instrument and trails off to the side. The background of the image is gray.
