Harpsichord rosette

This parchment rosette is copied from the rosette of an anonymous Italian harpsichord from the 1540s. It is composed by four levels of three layers of sculpted and superimposed white goatskin parchment. The central motif is the Star of David. Each intersection of the star's branches is decorated with small parchment pyramids. These pyramids are made up of small slices of parchment of decreasing diametre stuck on a silver-headed pin.
