But they were a mystery to him. The discovery was a strange one. What it meant he did not then realise. There seemed to be quite a quantity of apparatus and machinery.
The jingling noise produced by such instruments may have corresponded to the sound now emitted by the side-rings of the tambourine. Another curious-looking instrument occurs in a processional scene of the time of Asshur-bani-pal, which has been compared to the modern santour, a sort of dulcimer.
