Assyrian These dark blue strips of glass were found at Arslan Tash, together with a large group of carved ivory furniture inlays. The color of these pieces suggests that a metal ore such as copper or cobalt was added to the glass matrix. They may have been intended to imitate lapis lazuli, a dark blue semiprecious stone mined in northeastern Afghanistan that was prized by the Assyrians. These pieces were probably manufactured by Phoenician craftsmen who were expert at inlaying glass into ivories. Two pieces take the shape of long feathers, although the tip of one does not survive. These pieces may have been inlaid into cloisons (walled cells) within the wing of a fantastic creature such as a sphinx on a carved ivory furniture inlay, which was then joined to a piece of wooden furniture. The two rectangular strips may have been set directly into a piece of furniture.Arslan Tash, ancient Hadatu, was an Aramaean town located in northern Syria jusTiles and ornaments from the palace of Ramesses II ca. 1279-1213 B.C.

Assyrian This stamp seal shows an encounter between two figures who can be identified as male because of their long beards. The seal, carved with an octagonal face in the hard, lustrous stone chalcedony, appears in the photograph at left; at right is a modern impression in modelling clay of the image carved in intaglio into the seal face. In the impression, the figure at right wears a long garment with fringe at the hem and raises his hand to his face, palm inward, in a respectful gesture of greeting. The figure at left wears a fish-skin cloak and carries a bucket, shown as a square formed by incised lines with a handle at top. The fish-skin cloak identifies him as an šipu (ah-shee-pu), a priest who tended to sick people by exorcising the evil spirits that were thought to be causing their illness. The fish-skin cloak connects this figure with the primordial land of sweet waters, the Apsu, the domain of the wiShard of a plate from the wreck of the East India Hollandia.Porcelain, Plate, Type 3; Fragm or Rim, SIM.

Most were made in plain, unslipped wares, and tiny bits of grit were often added to the inside of the bowl to aid the grinding process. This fragmentary rim, however, is an example in finer ware, terra sigillata, decorated with barbotine, or relief decoration. Such vessels suggest that some food preparation was carried out at the table, in front of the host and his dining companions.. Terracotta mortarium fragment. Roman. late 2nd century A.D..
