Summary[edit]

Description
English: A bear (?) playing a stringed instrument on a fresco in Qasr Amra, Jordan. Other animals in the same room are dancing or playing music.
  • Palace ‘’hammam’’-bathhouse frescos — 8th-century Umayyad art.
  • "It is possible that this animal actually is an ape, but the shape of its snout makes it look more like a bear."
Français : Un ours (?) jouant de l'oud (?) sur une fresque du Qasr Amra, en Jordanie. D'autres animaux dans la même pièce dansent ou jouent de la musique.
Il est possible que cet animal soit en fait un singe, mais la forme de son museau lui donne plutôt l'air d'un ours.
