Hi Rob; I believe that white ovoid blob is damage (there are similar smaller blobs in the same vicinity). I'm also unsure about the bridge and string terminating hardware (it's still being restored). I'd like to see the peg box too. Looks almost like thick single strings? The body of this instrument is very petite too!
