Phoenician ivories from Nimrud 9th-8th centuries BC. These ivories, consisting for the most part of furniture inlays and attachments, were found at Nimrud, and, like the bronze bowls, probably represent tribute or booty taken by the Assyrians during their western campaigns. Given the widespread popularity and distribution of Phoenician ivories, these need not necessarily have come directly from Phoenicia.
