EN: Swan-neck lyre, improvisation.
This lyre is an interpretation of the iconography of the The sarcophagus of Aghia Triada
(Heraklion Archaeological Museum) - We know nothing about the music of the Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations but
the music was probably associated with religious rites.
Swan-shaped lyres are present in the world of Greek and Egyptian antiquity.
For more details see Leopold Vorreiter's publication about these lyres: www.jstor.org/...
