My photo barely shows the holes at one end and the glyphs. This crop of the museum photo shows the glyphs more clearly:
We can recognize the glyphs for "noble", "shepsi" (Gardiner A52):
The "flag" glyph means "netjer" ("god"), and there's part of the "hotep" glyphs. Perhaps there's the meaning of making music to please the gods?
