This is an original design based on 7th Century instruments found in burial mounds in the Sutton Hoo and Prittlewell archeological sites, East Anglia, Great Britain.

The shape is similar to the Sutton Hoo and Prittlewell findings, but the "medalion", bridge, tailpiece, and peg carvings are my design. The body is all birdseye maple as are the carved bridge and tailpiece. The hand-carved "monks" tuning pegs are maple. Nylon strung. It is 30" x 7 1/2" x 3". Body depth is approximately 1". It is hollow.
