| Description |  |
Angel with Symphonia and Angel with Tambourine may once have belonged to a larger group of angels whose other members are lost. Their instruments are of interest for the history of music. The symphonia, an early form of hurdy-gurdy, and the tambourine or timbrel with rattles would "Make a joyful noise unto God" (Psalms 66 and 150).
