Abstrakt: The article examines several objects from among published musical artifacts dating to the Late Bronze and Iron Ages. Archaeological excavations have produced numerous plaque figurines of individuals holding an object in front of their bodies. Most agree this object is a frame drum which is being held in different positions. The sexing of figures with drums is based on their physical characteristics, such as breasts or genitalia. A unique plague figurine from the site of Tel 'Ira suggests that this identification is over-applied. INSET: Add Women and Stir.
