Nimrud Ivory from Room SW11/12 Fort Shalmaneser, the military headquarters within the Assyrian city of Nimrud, northern Iraq, photographed in the City Museum and Art Gallery, Bristol. Tenoned panel with plain frame. Youth kneeling to R with raised arms to a twining plant with papyrus, lily & voluted palmette flowers. Short Egyptian wig with double ribbons. Garment with shawl sleeves & a divided knee-length skirt belted at waist. Top tenon has dowel hole & fitter's marks. Carved ivory plaques & panels decorated many wooden objects such as beds, chairs, jewellery boxes, cup stands, walls & columns. They 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 8.7cm high including tenons x 6.3cm 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; its ivories & archive are in the British Museum.
