Bronze bowl

Over 150 bronze bowls were discovered in one room in a palace at Nimrud. They were made in Phoenicia (the modern Lebanese and Syrian coast) and brought to Nimrud as booty or tribute by one of the kings who campaigned in the west, perhaps Tiglath-pileser III (744 - 727 B.C.).

About 800 - 700 B.C.
