Angel Playing a Rebec Embroidery - face


 I did a bit of research and it seems that there is actually another instrument that is more like the one in the stained glass window fragment and that is a "Rebab ".

The fourteenth century Rebab has two rosettes and is more like this shape . It also has three strings and played with a bow .

The Rebec also has three strings but is smaller and more pear shaped and only one rosette .

A Rebab is fourteenth century , so possibly making the stained glass window fragment even earlier  .

However !    There are hundreds of stringed instruments across the middle east and well ...everywhere really !

Anyway ....

 I have almost finished embroidering the Angel's face . 

 It is very hot here today , they say it will be the hottest day of this heatwave . It will still be hot over the weekend  and maybe thunderstorms next week .

I am finding it very uncomfortable , especially at night trying to sleep in this heat .

                      Love and Peace  🕊️
