Nimrud Ivory from Room SW12 Fort Shalmaneser, the military headquarters within the Assyrian city of Nimrud, northern Iraq, photographed in Ipswich Museum, Suffolk. Broken, slightly curved panel with a frieze of lotus flowers & buds, & a frame of running guilloche on R. The back is striated to aid glueing. Ivories were collected as gifts, booty & tribute from all over the Assyrian Empire - Egypt, Syria, Phoenicia etc - and, after any gold overlay had been removed, kept in storage 'magazines' at the fort. Most date from the 9th or 8th centuries BC. The panel is 4.2cm high x 9.6cm wide. The Nimrud Ivories have been catalogued & published by Georgina Herrmann for the British School of Archaeology in Iraq (London), Nimrud Ivories Project. The BSAI is now the British Institute for the Study of Iraq (London) (Gertrude Bell Memorial); its ivories & archive are in the British Museum.
