1 musical instrument ; 30.7 cm
Foot joint lower end of bore has a pair of channels carved about 180 degrees apart and to a depth of about 8 millimeters (along inside bore), purpose uncertain. However, this may have been a means of mounting the joint between lathe centers, one of which may have had shallow wings to ensure motion to withstand the forces exerted by the ornamental turning attachments.
