Germanic Rote #5

Original design based on 6th-7th Century lyre found in a warrior's grave in the Black Forest. This is red oak, maple, ebony, and black walnut. For this rote I researched artwork and symbols of the period and used some in the peg, tailpiece, and bridge carvings. The forward facing pegs have carved faces in a singing/chanting pose.

Germanic Rote #4, made around the same time (sold before any professional photos could be taken), is similar, but made from flamed white oak, maple, ebony, and black walnut.
