Vtg Zither with Colorful Handpainted Winter Scene-10 Song Sheets-Eastern Europe

Description

Offered is this wooden zither with a colorful handpainted winter scene and 15 metal strings. Also included are 10 light cardboard song sheets, each with a colorful and whimsical illustration. The song sheets are shaped so that they will stack on top of the zither, under the strings, for storage. The instrument is not marked so I don't know who made it or when, but it appears old enough to be vintage. The words on the song sheets have Cyrillic characters so the piece apparently was made in Eastern Europe but I don't know which country.
The zither is approx. 14 3/4" across at the widest, about 8" from top to bottom and about 1 1/4" thick. It is in very good condition. There is no damage to the wood or the strings, although there are a few light surface marks from use. The strings are tight. The cardboard song sheets have no tears, holes or creases, the colorful illustrations bright. Some are browner than others; I don't know if that is due to aging or if they were that way to begin with.
