Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Figurine(s) 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.

Most pictures are from the old museum, where light conditions were more natural. In the new museum the artifical light and surrounding cloth play havoc with camera's white balance. The colours from the old museum I used as norm.
