Description (Modern):
|
A flute, broken in 15 pieces, made out of silver. Some pieces are curved, others are straight. Two pieces have 2 inscribed lines on them. Five have finger holes in them (21 in all, even though some of these may be from disintegration of flute and not technical finger holes). Did not see the gold mouth piece.
When added together, totals to a length of 592mm. The diameter is 4mm. Scholars have put forth that the flute is actually 2 flutes like a pan flute. See media relations for sources. [note: this flute is almost certainly U.8605, as published and drawn in UE2]

Notes:
|
A silver tube was extensively examined shortly after excavation and apparently it became mixed up with another tube. Whether pieces from both are included in this lot is not clear, but in any case, the reported gold mouth piece of the drinking tube is not part of 30-12-536 and the drawing in UE2 of U.8605 (from PG/333) matches 30-12-536 in almost every detail.
