This is a Ruckers mother-and-child virginal—a 17th-century keyboard instrument with a second, smaller instrument built into it, tuned an octave higher. The “child” could be pulled out to play duets or set on top of the “mother” to add a jangly, buzzing color to the main sound—a Renaissance-era layering trick, centuries before mixing desks. Antwerp instrument makers were doing this in the 1600s.

Depending on your German regional dialect, this moth is known as the "totenkopf" butterfly... translated (death's head) or (skull)( and crossbones).

The moth has long been associated with death and the supernatural in folklore, art, and literature due to the marking and its ability to produce an audible squeak when disturbed.

It was notably featured in the movie The Silence of the Lambs!
