## Image Caption

Though not necessarily an Israelite object, this object was uncovered around Samaria and dates to the [Iron Age](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Iron_Age/) II (8th century BCE). It is 3.9 cm long (The [Israel](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Israel/) Museum, [Jerusalem](https://www.worldhistory.org/jerusalem/)). The image is significant because it is evidence—among other objects—for interactions between Israel and [Assyria](https://www.worldhistory.org/assyria/) during the 8th century BCE. ©The Israel Museum, Jerusalem.
