The soundboard has an illegible
handwritten inscription inside (upper
part, left side). The instrument is made
in terms of Baroque. The top block
is hammered to the neck rootlet with
a forged iron nail. Judging by the
soundboard material, weight, and
numerous decorations, it is rather
a luxury article than a musical
instrument. The violin has a double inlay. In addition to F-holes, the soundboard has a through rose in the form of an 8-pointed star with a core made of yellow diamond glass (?). The pegs are made of bone, with carved heads: the Burbons’ lily. The bridge is made of maple. The button is made of bone in a form of a man’s head. The violin surface is extremely rich in incrustation of pieces of mother-of- pearl, ebony, bone, and tortoise shell.
