Lur is a type of ancient wind instrument, typically made from a single piece of wood or metal. It is characterized by its long, curved shape and is often associated with the Iron Age cultures of Northern Europe. The instrument produces a deep, resonant sound and was likely used in various ceremonial and social contexts. The Lur has been found in archaeological sites, particularly in Denmark and Norway, where it is believed to have played a role in rituals or as a signaling device. Its unique design and historical significance make it an important artifact for understanding ancient music and culture.
