Summary

Description
English: Lyre player 1350-1150 BC performs before a Canaanite king; the instrument is possibly a kinnor; the artwork is a portion of a larger artwork on Megiddo Ivory (LB II), an ivory plaque found at Megiddo. This ivory engraving shows one possibility for the ancient instrument, kinnor.[1]

From bible-archaeology.info:[2]

"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)."
