14 DAY TRIAL // The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, US, now serves as a home to a bizarre musical instrument that looks nothing short of devilish and that probably sounds like something the fallen one would choose as his ringtone too.
The musical instrument in question, pictured above, is a lyre made from an actual human skull. That's right, somebody at some point in history was just the right amount of twisted, depraved and rotten to the core to turn some guy's head into a lyre.
According to Technabob, this peculiar musical instrument dates back to the 19th century. It measures 36.5 centimeters (14.37 inches) in length, 14 centimeters (5.51 inches) in width, and 13 centimeters (5.11 inches) in diameter.
As if the human skull were not enough to really freak people out, whomever made this musical instrument also used antelope horns, skin, gut, and even hair to complete their creation and make it as macabre as possible.
The bad news for those who would love nothing more than to come face to eye sockets with this lyre is that the musical instrument is now kept in storage at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. To make matters even worse, it is currently unclear whether it will ever go on display.
