Detail from the The Baptism of the Selenites (1507?) by Vittore Carpaccio (ca. 1465-1525/26), Venice, Scuola di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni. The king and princess of Libyan town Selene greeted with honours, and therefore with music, the Saint George. The musicians with trumpets and small double headed drums with mallets (so close to the davûl) are very probably inspired by the mehter ensembles typical of Islamic culture, moreover of Ottoman, Persian and Central Asian area.
