The headstock is a lovely 19th century banjo-style seen only on the first instruments of this type, but the real charm of this one lies in the artwork. The head is covered with finely executed colored-ink drawings depicting an early flapper-style bathing beauty, a bobbed-hair girl's portrait and a Little-Nemo-derived redhead with a fur-trimmed skirt. One of the most charming examples of this period decoration we have seen, and a good playing and sounding instrument too boot!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 21 1\/2 in.
