| Sumario: | The present paper deals with a stringed drum depicted in an anonymous Catalan panel from the mid 16th century. The panel, coming from the church of Barruera(Boí valley), disappeared during the Spanish Civil War and we only have a black and white photography kept in the Institut Amatller d'Art Hispànic in Barcelona. Nevertheless, the study of this depiction shows several as-pects related to the instrument and its musical use. Some of these aspects allow us to deal with different hypothesis connecting the stringed drum with the performance practice: on the one hand the instrument appears in a courtly renaissance atmosphere, being played at a banquet; on the other hand the instrument appears not only accompanying the one-hand fl ute (as it can be seen in other depictions) but also making up a consort together with a fi ddle |
