I have so far provisionally assumed that in the night the Ashadha twin nakshatras (Purva and Uttara) would continue uninterrupted to the Eagle nakshatra (Sravana). But it is important to realize that the 22nd and exceptional Abhijit ('Victorious') nakshatra, ruled by Brahma and by the stars α, ε, and ζ Lyrae, must be inserted before Uttara Ashadha is beginning:

Vega (α) is the first to rize of these ruling stars with Double Double (ε) and ζ following as a pair close together in time 2 nights later:

Gemini is the constellation at the opposite side of the sky compared to Lyra and we can see that the string instrument belongs in winter, with Castor:

The position of Castor's  lyra is approximately at ω Gemini, which rose together with Adara (ε Canis Majoris at the belly of the vertically oriented Great Dog):

In rongorongo times Adara rose with the Sun in July 4 (184) and in the night Manubrium (ο Sagittarii) was close to 19h.

"The sternum (from Greek στέρνον, sternon, 'chest'; plural 'sternums' or 'sterna') or breastbone is a long flat bony plate shaped like a capital 'T' located anteriorly to the heart in the center of the thorax (chest). It connects to the rib bones via cartilage, forming the anterior section of the rib cage with them, and thus helps to protect the lungs, heart and major blood vessels from physical trauma. Although it is fused, the sternum can be sub-divided into three regions: the manubrium, the body, and the xiphoid process." (Wikipedia)
