Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a rectangular stone carving, titled "Fragment of a Lintel: Hapiu's Female Musicians", by an unknown artist. The stone slab features a raised section at the top and has a light brown color with a rough texture. Two female musicians are carved on either side, each playing a stringed instrument. The musician on the left faces right; she holds the instrument with both hands. The musician on the right faces left; she holds a fan or similar prop in her left hand and the neck of her instrument in her right. The instrument on the right appears similar to a lyre. In the center, a stand supports a decorative object with a rounded top and a base featuring two circular motifs. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
