There is no original "AD 1250 box hurdy gurdy" instrument left over. If there was such an original, it would be in the PRADO museum in Madrid behind double security glass :-). But in the book "Cantigas de Santa Maria", written by king Alfonso X. de Castilla y León is a good bookpainting available. A monk and an earl are sitting together on a bank, each having this instrument and playing to praise god.
I've made a replica myself (under control of an instrument maker) and play it on the castle in Eppstein in Germany
