Assyrian This long, narrow strip of ivory is broken at both ends, but enough remains of the decoration to identify it as a scene depicting a royal banquet. At left, a beardless attendant gestures to a stand holding three pots, perhaps serving vessels for the meal; he may be waving a fan over the pots to keep insects away. Two similar figures stand to the right, armed with bows, and face the back of the seated king, who is identified by his distinctive hata fez-like cap topped by a small cone. The king is bearded and seated on a throne with a high back. He holds a bowl on the fingertips of his right hand and faces another beardless attendant, who holds a long-handled cup or dipper and waves a whisk toward the king. The attendant stands behind a three-legged table covered with a cloth. To the right is another group of banqueters, this time arranged in two seated pairs consisting of a bearded and a beardless figure, which face each other across another thrrough Gagate Jet stone on white macro shooting of natural mineral rock specimen - rough Gagate Jet stone on white marble background from Mataganskoe mine, Irkutsk region, Russia Copyright: xZoonar.com/ValeryxVoennyyx 11949806Ostrakon 7th century Coptic.
