Statue of Ashurnasirpal II : ウィキペディア英語版 | Statue of Ashurnasirpal II
The Statue of Ashurnasirpal II is a rare example of Assyrian sculpture in the round that was found in the mid nineteenth century at the ancient site of Kalhu (now known as Nimrud) by the famous archaeologist Austen Henry Layard. Dating from 883-859 BC, the statue has long been admired for its flawless condition and the high quality of its craftsmanship. It has been part of the British Museum's collection since 1851.〔British Museum Highlights ()〕〔British Museum Collection ()〕 ==Discovery== The statue was originally placed in the Temple of Ishtar to remind the deity of the king's devotion and piety. It is made of magnesite, and the original pedestal upon which it stood is made of a reddish stone. Both of these materials are not found locally, so they were probably transported back to Nimrud after a military campaign abroad. Layard found the statue and pedestal in its original location in 1850. Within a year of its discovery the sculpture had been dispatched to London.
