Shiraki - look at the soundhole :)

Have you ever seen such a soundhole?
The guitar is a Negra from Shiraki. The owner is a german guy (Otmar).
It is from the 70s. Otmar mentions that shiraki guitars are very rare.

RE: Shiraki - look at the soundhole :) (in reply to Arash)

I've never seen one like this on a classical or Flamenco guitar. But this sort of thing is common on instruments like lutes, etc. Originally, when guitars evolved, there was a "rose" in the place of the soundhole. as it evolved further, this dissappeared and was replaced with the "rosette". Or so I'm told.
