Canakkale Arch Mus march 2017 3525.jpg

This is one of one or more groups of figurines. I found the following text on the museum website: "One of the most impressive collections in the museum is the one from Assos (Behramkale). Among the finds from the local necropolis, such as vessels and terracotta objects from the 5th and the 4th centuries BC, there are fascinating figurines of musicians. Most likely they were funeral gifts because they have been found in the sarcophagi. Perhaps there is a connection between them and the cult of the god Dionysus. The figurines show the musicians playing various instruments, including the lyre, the cithara, the drum, and the flute, as well as people dancing and singing."
