The Bull Headed Lyre of Ur; was found in the Royal Cemetery of the ancient Sumerian city of Ur in present-day Iraq, in 1926-27. Dating to 2500 BC, it is one of the oldest stringed instruments ever found.

The bull's head is 40cm long and 25cm wide; it was made of gold, shell, lapis, lazuli, bitumen and silver.

Description by Penn Museum below:

"Bull's head in sheet gold with lapis beard found in grave 789 of the Royal Cemetery at Ur. There is a great deal of detail in the bull’s eyes, snout, and the curls of its beard, which represents the power of the king as well as the god Shamash. It was originally affixed to the front of a wooden lyre, the decayed remains of which were somewhat apparent in the soil when excavated."
