Abstract

Originally a 223-ft long frieze, women, children, and animals process as silhouettes. Two children are shown, each playing a triangle. Additionally, there is a musician holding an instrument comprised of two triangles assembled together in the shape of the Star of David, suspended within a circular hoop, mounted at the end of a long, vertical pole, played with a triangle beater held in one hand. Ahead, a musician plays an échelette-like instrument.
