Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: This scene is part of a long tributary one where the Shalmaneser III (r. 858-824 BCE) receives Chaldean tribute from Musallim-Marduk, son of Ukani.
On the right, a chamberlain bearing his staff of office appears, followed by a bearded figure and a beardless figure, each carrying in his extended hands a small tray of loaf-like objects, perhaps ingots of some relatively precious metal. Then come two more bearded figures with bundles of approximately rectangular outline on their shoulders (these cannot be positively identified, probably elephants hide). This dais was found in the eastern end of the throne room (T1) at Fort Shalmaneser in the city of Nimrud (in modern-day Nineveh Governorate, Iraq) in 1962 CE. The front and sides of the dais were carved in relief depicting various tributary scenes. The dais was completed around 846-845 BCE (and that would be the king's 13th year of reign). During the ransacking of the Iraq Museum in April 2003 CE, this object was not vandalized and remained intact. It is on display at the Assyrian Gallery of the Iraq Museum in Baghdad, Republic of Iraq. |
