Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Lyre played before a Canaanite king, 1350-1150 BC, possibly a kinnor. The artwork is a portion of Megiddo Ivory (LB II), an ivory plaque found at Megiddo.

From bible-archaeology.info:[1]

"The next stratum, Megiddo VII, disclosed the base of a statue of Ramses VI (about 1148-1142 BC). The treasure house of the royal palace of this city was found to contain a large number of ivory objects, discarded by the invaders who overwhelmed Megiddo in the mid-12th century BC. Outstanding among these is an ivory plaque, the "Celebration of Victory" (see the ivory with a seated figure and a harpist, below)."
