view map

This statue was found in the forecourt of the south east gate at Bogazkale. She is accompanied by two musicians, one playing a double flute, the other a cithara.

This is the flute player, note how his mouth is bound so he can put maximum pressure on the flute.

Limestone. Height: 126 cm (for the whole statue) Dated 6th century BC (Phrygian period).

Correspondent: J.M.Criel, Antwerpen.
