The Zulu Harmonicon (shown in front and rear view) is also known as the Marimba. Each of the ten bars of wood have a gourd attached, which acts as a resonator. The instrument is played with sticks tipped with balls of rubber. The use of this instrument is very widespread and received increased popularity with the development of the xylophone, which uses metal keys instead of wooden ones.

Iran This bronze fibula, in essence an ancient safety pin, is triangular in shape. The arms are decorated with grooves and hatching, and the catch on the pin is in the form of a human head. It was excavated at Tepe Nush-i Jan, an Iron Age hilltop site about 60 km sound of Hamadan in western Iran. Nush-i Jan was occupied in the 7th and 6th centuries B.C., and its occupants are generally thought to be the Medes, an Iranian people known from Assyrian, Achaemenid and Biblical sources. Though the textual sources portray them as a powerful empire, archaeological evidence for the Medes has yet to sustain this impression. Rather, they seem to have lived in scattered fortified sites in western and central Iran, without any clear capital. Nush-i Jan, one of the best known of these sites, features two temples, a columned hall, and a fort. The fibula was found in the Central Temple in what has been identified as a squatter’s level.’ Archaeologists use the term squTree. Culture: Chancay. Dimensions: Height 16-1/8 in..
