Thank you, this is very interesting!
The pictures on the Bruxelles Museum site are very dark and in low-res,
so it's almost impossible to actually see the pegbox artwork.
Would you have more detailed pictures handy? In case, I'd really like
to see the pegbox and the rose.
All the best,
Luca

It's a Hoffmann pegbox from Brussels. I've put it as the possible
design for my "build your own baroque lute" courses so it's probably
all over the place by now!
best wishes

Dear list members,
months ago looking on the French list of instruments for sale I
noticed a baroque lute built in 1980 by Martin Bowers and showing a
very peculiar artwork on the back of the pegbox (see
here:

(By the way, as far as I know the lute is still for sale)
I thought it came from the lutemaker, but then a few days ago I noticed
exactly the same artwork on a different lute, a picture I think I saw
on Facebook somewhere.
I'm really curious: is it an original "fretsawn" which has been copied
or does it come from some late restauration work (as it happened to the
Edlinger lutes in South Dakota)?
All the best,
Luca
