Description

This fragment of relief formed part of a lintel over the door of a small niche or shrine in the tomb of a man called Hapiu. Two female musicians are shown on either side of a large stand bearing a floral arrangement. The first woman, wearing a long coat, beats a drum; the second, scantily clad, plucks a lyre, dancing as she plays.
