Chechen and Ammonite Bowed Psaltery



Ammonite shell inlaid into Chechen Bowed PsalteryHere’s another update on the custom bowed psaltery that featured the dragonfly rose posted earlier.

The picture to the left shows the psaltery tipped up on its side to show a clearer shot of both the back and side.

The back/sides are made of Chechen, the binding is Ebony, and the small shell inlay that you see on the corner is actually an extinct mollusk called an Ammonite. I buy these fossils as matching shell halves and offer them as an inlay option.

    Every one of your psalteries are works of art, Eric, but I must say that this one is exceptional. Of course, I am somewhat biased with that opinion. Thank you for taking such care and attention with building my psaltery.
