- Lot Description
Ancient Near East, Assyria, ca. late 2nd millennium BCE. A fabulous example of a chariot wheel rim comprised of six large sections and two petite sections cast from copper, each with double-riveted, U-shaped flanges spaced evenly across each component. The curved copper sections would have attached to the exterior of a wooden wheel to aid in crossing over the uneven, rough, and varied terrain of the ancient Near East. Each rim component is completely covered in thick layers of brown, green, and russet patina that create a colorful presentation evocative of ancient Assyrian artistry. An intriguing artifact to keep the wheels turning on any collection! Size (largest piece): 17.25" L x 3.625" W (43.8 cm x 9.2 cm); (wheel diameter): 36.3" W (92.2 cm); (display case): 41.2" L x 41.2" W (104.6 cm x 104.6 cm)
Compare a similar wheel from Choqa Zanbil can be seen in the National Museum of Iran, Tehran.
