DescriptionSouth Face, West End, Throne Dais of Shalmaneser III at the Iraq Museum.jpg
English: This scene is part of a long tributary one where the king receives Chaldean tribute from Musallim-Marduk, son of Ukani. Those figures stand behind the king (not shown here).
This dais was found in the eastern end of the throne room (T1) at Fort Shalmaneser in the city of Nimrud (in modern-day Nineveh Governorate, Iraq) in 1962 CE. The front and sides of the dais were carved in relief depicting various tributary scenes. The dais was completed around 846-845 BCE (and that would be the king's 13th year of reign). During the ransacking of the Iraq Museum in April 2003 CE, this object was not vandalized and remained intact. It is on display at the Assyrian Gallery of the Iraq Museum in Baghdad, Republic of Iraq.
