The bearded musician figurine from the 2nd to 1st millennium B.C., found in the Middle East, is a small sculpture showing a man with a beard playing a musical instrument, such as a lyre or harp. Made from clay or stone, it was carefully shaped by hand and may have been used in religious or cultural ceremonies, or simply to show daily life. The figure highlights the importance of music in ancient Middle Eastern societies and reflects their artistic skills and traditions during that time.
