1016 Anitra, provisional designation 1924 QG, is a main-belt asteroid discovered by German astronomer Karl Wilhelm Reinmuth at Heidelberg-Königstuhl State Observatory on January 31, 1924.[1]
The asteroid is probably named after the Arabian dancer Anitra, daughter of a Bedouin chief in Henrik Ibsen's drama Peer Gynt. The Norwegian Edvard Grieg composed the Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 of which one of the pieces is called "Anitra's Dance".[2]
