Reigentänzer und Flötenspieler
750 - 600 v. Chr.
A group of three dancers and a musician fixed on a round flat disc. Handmade. The three dancers stand at the edge of the disc with their arms stretched to the sides and bent upwards. The arms of two and the head of one of them are missing. They each have a solid cylindrical body without any indication of feet. Long nose, pellets for ears. High conical headdress with top bent backwards. In the middle of the plaque stands a fourth human figure playing a double pipe, which he holds with both hands. The four figures are more or less identical. Their noses and ears are painted red. Black for the headdresses. The hands of the musician as well as the pipes are also painted red. There are vertical and horizontal bands of black paint on the back and arms of the dancer’s body, red across the back of the musician. There is black paint across the shoulders of all the figures.
