Guitar rosette

This baroque guitar parchment rosette is an original creation inspired by the rose window of the Oviedo Cathedral in Spain. It is composed of four levels of three layers of sculpted and superimposed parchment. Two shades of parchment were used: an antique goatskin parchment in cream colour and a natural goatskin parchment in white. This rosette was specially designed to adorn the sound hole of a baroque guitar made by Spanish luthier Carlos Ardura Martinez.
