Assyrian This fragmentary piece of ivory was found in a storage room in Fort Shalmaneser, a royal building at Nimrud that was used to store booty and tribute collected by the Assyrians while on military campaign. Shaped like a half cylinder, it takes the shape of a section of the elephant tusk from which it was cut. The fragment was found with another piece of similar shape and decoration, suggesting that the two may have originally been part of the same object, which may have been a decorative furniture element like one section of a table leg. The top and bottom edges of the cylinder are decorated with a row of deeply drilled circles set between two plain border strips, with small abstract flowers filling the space between the outer edges of the circles. Within each drilled circle is a deeper hole for a peg, probably for anchoring the material that was originally inlaid within the circles and is now lost.
