Description
Note: "Njapundunke sitzt vor dem Eingang des Palastes. Auf der linken Seite Frauen, die auf Harfen (lüükü) spielen." (Ch. M. Geary, E-30-0,7 und E-30-0,8). Note translation: "Njapundunke is sitting in front of the entrance to the palace. On the left there are women playing harps (lüükü)." (C. M. Geary, E-30-0,7 and E-30-0,8). - "Spiel" - lit. "game" - is a difficult word to translate here. It is probably used in the sense of a (quasi-) military ceremony with music (PJ 04.2001).
