Turquoise Rosette. Please note there is a split in the top seam, just below the bridge which apparently occurred prior a long time ago and has not changed. There is also some separation on near the Rosette and on the back. These don't seem to be moving and hasn't presented any additional issues in the time we've had this instrument. It has a beautiful sound. This hand made instrument does have with some of the most highly flamed Koa we've ever seen.
