Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This is a perspective-corrected version of another picture.

This is a mosaic of Musicians from Mariamin, last quarter of 4th century AD. It was located in an absidial room used for dining in a house, and is important for showing the use of musical instruments of the period. I have been informed by UNESCO that it has disappeared. I hope it survives, as it is rare if only for the organ it shows and that is the clearest depiction of ikts use in antiquity.

Six women perform on instruments, two infants, dressed as Eros, work the bellows. Apart from the organ there are a flute, lyre or zither, castanets and six metal bowls on a table. A woman with cymbals seems to direct the ensemble.
