%X The present paper deals with a stringed drum depicted in an anonymous Catalan panel from the mid 16th century. The panel, coming from the church of Barruera (Bo¨ª valley), disappeared during the Spanish Civil War and we only have a black and white photography kept in the Institut Amatller d¡¯Art Hisp¨¤nic in Barcelona. Nevertheless, the study of this depiction shows several aspects related to the instrument and its musical use. Some of these aspects allow us to deal with different hypothesis connecting the stringed drum with the performance practice: on the one hand the instrument appears in a courtly renaissance atmosphere, being played at a banquet; on the other hand the instrument appears not only accompanying the one-hand flute (as it can be seen in other depictions) but also making up a consort together with a fiddle. El presente art¨ªculo se centra en la representaci¨®n, hasta ahora desconocida, de un tambor de cuerdas pintado en una tabla an¨®nima catalana de mediados del siglo XVI, procedente de la peque a iglesia de Barruera (Vall de Bo¨ª). Dicha tabla desapareci¨® durante la guerra civil espa ola y solo la conocemos a trav¨¦s de una fotograf¨ªa en blanco y negro que se conserva en el Instituto Amatller de Arte Hisp¨¢nico (Barcelona). No obstante, el estudio de la representaci¨®n clarifica algunos aspectos relativos al uso del instrumento que hasta ahora no se hab¨ªan podido demostrar: por un lado nos sit¨²a el tambor de cuerdas en el contexto de un banquete cortesano de ambiente renacentista; por otro lado relaciona el instrumento no solo con su acompa ante habitual ¨C la flauta de una sola mano ¨C sino tambi¨¦n con la viola de arco.
