"Pair of bellows, with brass or bronze nozzle, walnut boards and leather wind chest. \n\nThe front board is decorated with brass stringing, bone and with mother-of-pearl inlay engraved with birds, insects and flowers, and with four octagonal mother-of-pearl plaques depicting the four evangelists. These are arranged in a cruciform pattern round a central roundel (bone?) depicting the Agony of Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane. Above the nozzle is an oval mother of pear plaque, depicting King David, seated and playing the harp. The back board, with a heart shaped air hole, and reverse of the front board handle are decorated with a scrolling pattern of brass stringing. The handle of the back board (front face) is inset with a bone(?) plaque engraved with scrolls, fruit and leaves, pierced with a hanging hole. There are also small areas of mother-of-pearl inlay and stringing on the sides. The turned metal nozzle is nailed to the boards, and is cut in a zig-zag round its 'neck'.\n\nThe leather parts are close-nailed to the board edges with a fringed silk(?) braid, now brown, using round-headed nails. Set between the front and back boards, within the leather 'sack' is a rigid hoop, probably metal."@en . .
