Abstract |
A fragmentary ivory panel from Samaria, Israel, depicts part of a banquet scene, a motif attested on Levantine ivory carvings of the Late Bronze and Iron Ages, as well as Iron Age stone reliefs and containers. In token of Georgina Herrmann’s invaluable contribution to the publication of Nimrud ivories as well as to western Asiatic furniture, this article explores the composition of Late Bronze and Iron Age banquet scenes in order to suggest a possible scenario for the Samaria panel and discusses the particularities of its realia, especially the design of the banqueter’s throne, in light of Iron Age ivory carvings. It concludes that this banquet scene belongs to an indigenous Levantine tradition and can tentatively be attributed to the 8th century based on its Egytianizing details.
