Having problems with message search?
Does anyone know what this image may mean, overall? I see
what look like angels pouring wine (or blood) onto the heads of a
group of lyre players. I'm positive someone has a much more
educated artistic notion!

Hallo Tim,
thank you very much for your long response to "playing-technique".
Yes, this was my feeling too, when i first saw this illustration on my computer.I had never ssen it before in any diskussion of the Lyre-playing-technique (Greame Lawson, Barbara Theune-Großkopf, Dieter Bischop...).

Your Questions about the dating of the two "strange lyres":
The "Aal"(Obboell)-Lyre is dated in the 12th century (King Waldemar).
The Montpellier-Lyre is dated in the 8th century.
