The most important of the rich and varied pieces of carved ivory discovered at Nimrud during 1949 and 1950 have already been illustrated and discussed in previous numbers of this Journal. The photographs which accompany this article, Plates XII-XVIII, illustrate the remainder of what still needed to be published from those two seasons: anything omitted is probably too much mutilated or fragmentary to be worth describing.
