In the late 1500s it was converted into a violin, and a silver plate on the peg box is engraved with the arms of Queen Elizabeth I and her favourite, Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. 👑 Queen Elizabeth I of England was born #OnThisDay in 1533. 👉 Swipe through to marvel at the finely carved scenes of huntsmen, animals, flowers and foliage. 🐉 See if you can also spot the dragon hiding in these elegant engravings! 🏛 See this citole on display in Room 40 of the Museum, the Sir Paul and Lady Ruddock Gallery of Medieval Europe, 1050–1500. 🔎 Citole engraved with the arms of Queen Elizabeth I.
