Yes, the lyra (also known as the lira or lira da braccio).

It is a well-known string instrument founded in the 10th century. There are many versions of it from different parts of the world, including the pear-shaped, three stringed one found around villages in the Black Sea, but all are played on the knee with a horse-hair bow. The lyra is also the instrument that, with a few modification, went on to become some of the well-known string family members, including the violin and cello.

Hope this helps!
