Bow harp

Bow harp. Dimensions: L. 81.4 cm (32 1/16 in); W. 26.4 cm (10 3/8 in.). Dynasty: Dynasty 12. Date: ca. 2030-1640 B.C.. The harp, called benet in ancient Egyptian, was one of the most popular musical instruments throughout pharaonic history. This bow harp, among the oldest to have survived, is characterized by a long, curving neck and a shovel-shaped sound box. Originally covered by parchment or animal skin, the sound box would have resonated when the instrument's five strings were plucked. Harpers played either alone or in ensembles with singers and other musicians.
