Although no tambourines as we know them today have been recovered from the Biblical era, ancient pottery figurines of women with small handheld drums have been found in Israel in places such as Achzib, Megiddo, and Beth - shean.
Meskipun tidak ada rebana dari zaman Alkitab yang telah ditemukan, patung - patung tembikar kecil berbentuk wanita yang sedang membawa rebana kecil telah ditemukan di Israel, misalnya di Akhzib, Megido, dan Bet - syean.
