Keywords:
artistic description, human figures, musical instruments, pottery tablets, Mesopotamian civilizationAbstract
The research studies a collection of terracotta figurines and plaques: two figurines and three plaques. All of them focus on representing the theme of music and playing on musical instruments, due to its significant impact on the human soul. Accordingly, scenes of joy and victory, whether in wars or religious or social events, were represented with great interest by Mesopotamian artists in various forms of art. Musical instruments also varied, including percussion instruments like drums or tambourines, stringed instruments, and even wind instruments. In the selected pieces, the tambourines and the stringed Baz instrument were the main artistic representations. All five pieces date back to the Old Babylonian period (2000-1595 BC), which is considered one of the golden ages in the civilization of Mesopotamia.
