Expedition of the British School of Archaeology in Iraq.
Accession # 59.107.1
This is one of several curved ivory panels from Nimrud that were the backs of beds and chairs. Gathered after the city was first attacked in the late seventh century BC, a large number were stacked in orderly rows in a storeroom where they were buried in the final destruction in 612 BC.
