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. Part of an openwork tenoned panel with a winged male figure (deity) standing facing L in a field of papyrus flowers & buds. Cloisonné: the wig, eye, wings, garment borders & flowers were inlaid with blue frit. 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 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.
