The Black Obelisk

  • Unlike other artifacts, it’s not palace-centric
    • Not found within palace walls; on the high citadel of Nimrud
    • is public
    • Maybe aspirational, but definitely instructive
  • Content
    • Tributaries carrying miniature “models” of other cities in Assyria
      • Be able to show guests
      • Highlight ownership & control
      • Give the kings a lens to a wider world (often times they don’t get to see the cities they conquer)
  • Thronebase from Shalmaneser in Nimrud
