Crazy Long Distance Walk (1/2/2010)

1-2. 乱闯乱荡到来到超大间的British Museum。

3. The citole, an ancestor of the modern guitar, is a rare surviving example of an English musical instrument from the medieval period. It gives an insight into the splendour that surrounded aristocratic feasts where citoles were played with other instruments, especially fiddles. The detailed carving shows tiny figures among the leaves. Some are going about their daily business, such as the swineherd feeding acorns to his pigs. Others are involved in hunting deer or foxes. A number of monstrous creatures also appear such as the half-man half-beast shooting an arrow at a rabbit. The silver plate on the peg box is engraved with the arms of Queen Elizabeth I and her favourite, Robert Dudley, earl of Leicester. It dates from 1578 when the citole was converted into a violin.
