Click to expand...

no idea how rare these are but it sure is in nice condition for pewter

coated with the patina and was kept very well ... the problem is the date these figurines were made from the Middle Ages till the 19th century ..... and they are all very similar. :dontknow:

Re: My first hunt of 2011.

I have already identified the musical instrument that appears in the Pin ... it's one lyre. :thumbsup:

The lyre is a stringed musical instrument well known for its use in classical antiquity and later. The word comes from the Greek "λύρα" (lyra) and the earliest reference to the word is the Mycenaean Greek. The lyre of Classical Antiquity was ordinarily played by being strummed with a plectrum, like a guitar or a zither, rather than being plucked, like a harp. The fingers of the free hand silenced the unwanted strings in the chord. The lyre is similar in appearance to a small harp, but with certain distinct differences.
