Not everything is what it seems. What appears at first sight to be a lute is only a lute box, an old wooden case for the instrument. The books, too, disappoint: they are covers, limp covers of leather or parchment, intended to hold bills and other documents. They are old stuff, rejected and worthless, impermanent.
