Summary

Description
English: Pictures I took in the (former) Çanakkale Archaeological Museum, now displayed in the Troy Museum, showed truer colours, I adjusted this version to what I think was the right setting, but taking pictures like this under artifical light is always a gamble. From a website: "One of the most impressive collections in the museum is the one 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."
