This terracotta sculptural group from Taras consists of three figures: a seated musician and two Sirens. It probably depicts the mythological scene of Orpheus winning with his melodies against the enchanting song of the Sirens. In this way, he helped Jason and the Argonauts to escape from Sirenum scopuli (the rocks of the Sirens) without losses.

The musician holds the plektron (pick) with which he plays his, now-missing, lyre, which once holded with his left arm. His mouth is half-opened giving the impression that he is singing. He seats on klismos (ancient Greek chair with curved backrest), and he rests his feet on a footrest. He has very short hair and wears a himation that leaves naked his right arm. Sirens are depicted as female figures with legs and wings of a bird of prey. They move their hands and have their mouth opened as they are singing.
