The instrument consists of a wooden soundbox (circular or semicircular) and metal nails. Sound is produced by drawing a violin bow across the nails, creating bell-like tones. While it has limited capabilities, the instrument was popular in the eighteenth century and other makers built similar instruments in various forms. Technical description: Flat circular wooden soundbox, the top surface of which is a thin spruce soundboard pierced by three carved rosettes; around the edge of the soundboard are driven two overlapping rows of steel pins, one row of 44 pins (the larger ones staggered chromatically) giving a chromatic compass of three octaves starting on a C, and a 4th diatonic octave above, the other row of 23 pins make a diatonic scale starting on an F; accidental pins are bent slightly outward near their tops, naturals are straight; four short wire-topped bridges on the soundbSweden, Blekinge, Blekinge, Karlskrona, Karlskrona, external marina (depicted, town).Sweden, Blekinge, Blekinge, Karlskrona, Karlskrona, External War Gogs (depicted, City)Harp ca. 1760 German or French.

Washington State, USA. 10/23/2012Fragment of a vessel. A low curvature of the glass fragment allows the assignment to a vessel, possibly a shell. For violet background, forms of flowers are shown in millefiori technology. One consists of concentric rings in the color sequence transparent, yellow, purple and white. The other consists of a white core with violet contour to seamlessly lay seamlessly transparent points with yellow contour as petals. For the production, different colored glasses were molded into tubes and rods. These were compressed and heated, causing a long bar. The glass sliced now had different amorphous or floral patterns. Thereafter, several of these platelets were folded together, heated again and pressed into the vascular shape.
