Nimrud Ivory from Room SW37 Fort Shalmaneser, the military headquarters within the Assyrian city of Nimrud, northern Iraq, photographed in the National Museum of Iraq, Baghdad. Two similar designs of Phoenician women in lappet (tripartite) wigs, wearing long, striped or pleated contour revealing dresses decorated with vertical & horizontal bands. Each is accompanied by papyrus flowers & carries an ankh (symbol of life) in the R hand. Parts of tenoned openwork panels with ribbed frames at top. Left: ND 13605, Catalogue No. 298, IM 74855, 11.0cm high including tenon x 5.7cm wide. Right: ND 13604, Catalogue No. 299, 9.0cm high x 4.1cm wide. 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 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.
