Lute, 20th dynasty.jpg
Flinders Petrie. He led excavations in Egypt, reported on in the book ''Hyksos and Israelite Cities'' (by W. M. Flinders Petrie and J. Garrow Duncan, 1906 (double volume), Brit. Sch. of Arch).

Text about the figurine after its discovery from the 1906 book ''Hyksos and Israelite cities'' by W. M. Flinders Petrie:

"Grave 489 measured 60 inches x 30 x 30; the skeleton lay on back, and with the head to the south-west. In this tomb the fine terra-cotta figure of a woman seated, playing the mandoline, was found (see Pl. XXXVII B). This unique figure is decorated with a diamond check pattern in black lines on the chest, and the musical instrument with a double wavy line, crossing and re-crossing to form a series of small circles. It is a piece of very clever modelling. The profile and the pose of the head and neck give to the figure an absorbed expression, which is striking when we consider the very simple treatment. The piece shows evidence of Cypriote art, and probably dates from about the XIXth-XXth dynasty."<ref>{{cite book
