On display in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens in Greece.
Description in the museum:
The ‘harpist of Keros’, of parian marble.
Seated in an elegant throne, holds a stringed instrument, lyre or harp (trigonon). Musicians are mainly ‘harpists’ and rarely play wind instruments. Elaborate three-dimensional statuettes were carved in organized workshops equipped with bronze tools.
Numerous artifacts of ritual significance (marble figurines and vessels) have been found on the island of Keros.
The flutist and the harpist are thought to come from the same grave on Keros (3908)
Early Cycladic II, 2800-2300 BC
