Sistrum ancient musical instrument

The sistrum, a musical percussion instrument first used by the ancient Egyptians, was commonly used in ancient Greek musical practices and often depicted in visual arts such as sculpture and pottery. Made from clay, wood, or metal, the sistrum provided rhythmic accompaniment to other instruments, particularly in religious rites and festivals. It is played by shaking the instrument like a rattle: the moveable objects on the horizontal bars or the free movement of the bars themselves against the frame produce sounds.
