Summary
The 'Woman at the Window' Came from Egypt investigates the origin of ivory plaques found in the Assyrian palaces of Nimrud and Khorsabad from the first millennium BCE. It provides a completely new interpretation of the famous iconography of the 'Woman at the Window'. This collection of ivories, traditionally labelled as 'Phoenician', is thought to have originated from locations across the Levant. However, the Egyptian Nile Delta appears to be a more accurate locale. Pharaohs of the Third Intermediate Period, especially those of the 25th dynasty, may have commissioned them to help legitimise their fragile positions.
