## Image Caption

This bowl was part of a hoard found by Sir Henry Layard in 1850-1851 CE in the North-West [Palace](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/palace/) at [Nimrud](https://www.worldhistory.org/Kalhu/) (ancient [Kalhu](https://www.worldhistory.org/Kalhu/)). They were probably deposited there in the 8th century BCE. The decoration on the bowls is Phoenician, very similar in many respects to the that of the so-called "Nimrud ivories". The bowls might have been tribute or taken as booty by the Assyrians during one of their military campaigns in the western part of the Assyrian [Empire](https://www.worldhistory.org/empire/). (The British Museum, London).
