Matteo Sellas's "Guitar" is a detailed example of 17th-century Italian craftsmanship. Dating from 1620-1660, this instrument showcases intricate inlay work around the soundhole, with a repeating design of hearts and swirls on the body. Its unique design, with a deep body and elaborate ornamentation, makes it a captivating display of both artistic skill and musical innovation. The guitar is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
