| Description |
English: An illustration from the Encyclopaedia Biblica, a 1903 publication which is now in the public domain.
Fig. 25 for article "Music". Image of an Assyrian Orchestra, from a slab in the British Museum, dating from the reign of Ashur-bani-pal. There are 7 portable harps, a dulcimer, two double reedpipes(Aulos), and a drum (all played by men). The woman clasping her throat is singing in a particularly high voice; in the 19th century, women in the Near-East clasped their throat like that in order to be able to produce a high tremolo. |
