Ornate Decorative Folk Lute Instrument

This is a beautiful, ornate stringed instrument that has a wonderful folk aesthetic. It features a teardrop-shaped body with intricate metalwork along the edges and delicate floral-style inlays running up the neck. The headstock is particularly striking with its scalloped, decorative shape. It's a unique piece that would be perfect for a collector or as a conversation-starting decor item. Used, with a lovely aged patina that shows its history.
