We can see portions of the faces of four musicians on this sunk-relief fragment. The indIvidual on the far left plays a double flute; the small lyre strummed by a graceful hand belongs to a figure no longer preserved. These musicians probably entertained at a royal banquet depicted on a temple or palace wall.
