HARPSICHORDS

From the workshop of

Knight Vernon , Harpsichord Maker

Authentic replicas of historic instruments, carefully made, and elegantly decorated

This is the figure of Apollo playing the cithara. It is an allegoric symbol having its origin on a Greek amphora dated 400 B. C.  

Notice the object being held in Apollo's right hand. It is a Greek phiale or drinking vessel. The singer has paused in his wanderings to ask for refreshment from a listener.
