David and his musicians
Description

South gallery; David playing the cithara
Reference
:
The names of several musicians established by David to sing praises to Yaweh in Jerusalem Temple are found in Scripture. However, these four names are never found together in the same passage, and the instruments attributed to these names are specific to Moissac and not Scripture. Ethan and Eman are names as descendants of Juda (1 Para., 2:6); Asaph is usually shown with a harp, lira, and symbals (I Para, 15:16-17). The rota is a medieval instrument similar to a psalterium.
