Dancer and Musicians
Not on view
Pottery figures of entertainers often accompanied the deceased in the afterlife. Here, a female dancer performs the popular “seven dish dance,” tapping dishes with her feet as musicians play a zither and clap. One dish, the only surviving example of the original set of seven, rests under the dancer’s left foot.
