AHS member Flory Nye-Clement spotted this incredible sculpture at the Getty Villa Museum in the Pacific Palisades, California. Flory writes:

I found this sculpture of a singing musician with a triangular harp at the Getty Villa. As a historical harpist, I was thrilled to see this very moving iconography from the fifth century BCE.

Thanks for sharing, Flory!
