See this magnificent 19th-century #SudaneseLyre in a new free display in Room 3, open now!
This stunning lyre, known as a kissar, was owned and played by a singer, minstrel and spirit healer in Nubia (northern Sudan). It is festooned with charms and wooden prayer beads, as well as numerous other pendant decorations, including cowrie shells, probably from the Maldives, a very small pistol mechanism, bells, glass beads and coins from a wide area – Yemen, Egypt, the UK and even Indonesia. In common with many African objects it is anthropomorphic, with eyes, nose and outstretched arms. The display explores the historical and contemporary cultural significance of the lyre, and showcases the artistic qualities of one of the most remarkable objects in the Museum’s collection.
This display is part of a season at the Museum around #Africa this summer. Find out more here: www.britishmuseum.org/whats_on/celebrating_africa.aspx
