Фигура дарителя

ca. 8th century BCE
Not on view
С IX по VII вв. до н.э. ассирийцы правили Месопотамией, Сирией, Левантом и, на протяжении недолгого периода, даже Египтом. Искусных мастеров со всех концов империи направляли работать в ассирийские столицы; туда же отправляли и различные дары для правителей. Эта фигура изображена с дарами из родного края ассирийскому царю: обезьяной, серной (африканской антилопой) и шкурой леопарда — все эти животные обитали к югу от Египта. Эта фигура, вероятно, предназначенная для украшения королевской мебели, обнаруживает элементы финикийского стиля, в частности, египетскую выразительность позы и черт лица.
