| Decoration | A reconstruction of a barbiton comprised of a heart shaped wooden frame with a horizontal bar at the top to which the seven strings are attached. The strings are arranged vertically and are attached at the bottom where there is a tortoise shell with some sort of drum skin drawn taught across the top. A red ribbon has been added for decoration to the left at the bottom. | ||||||||||||||

| Condition | Intact and complete; wood is slightly stained and sticky (from previous adhesive) at the right side of the crossbar; the ‘leather’ drum is brittle, as are the strings, which are loose; the velvet fillet is in dissaray, with some torn stitches. | ||||||||||||||
