Greek lyra 2
The Greek lyra (also known as a Cretan lyra) is a
pear-shaped 3 stringed musical instrument that is played with a
bow. Unlike a violin, it is played sitting vertically on the knee
like a viol, rather than under the chin.
The body of this lyra is overlaid with alternate pieces of ebony
and ivory.
