Perhaps the
earliest unambiguous illustration of a recorder as such is The Mocking of Jesus (after
1315),
a fresco from the Church of St George, Staro Nagoricvino, a village
East of Kumanova in (Yugoslav) Macedonia, painted
by the court painters Michael Astrapas and Eutychios, in which a
musician plays a cylindrical duct-flute,
the window/labium of which is clearly visible, and at the foot of
which
there is an open finger hole for the little finger of the
lowermost hand.
