Främre Orienten

Description: Near Eastern Collections
Among the highlights in the Near Eastern collection, are the Bronze Age objects found by professor T Arne, during the Swedish excavations of 1932 in Shah Tepe in northeastern Iran.
The Museum of Mediterranean and Near Eastern Antiquities also has one of the world's largest and finest collections of ancient Persian bronzes from Bronze- and Iron Age Luristan(2700 BC – 650 BC.
From Mesopotamia the museum has a representative collection of cuneiform tablets and seals from Sumerian and Babylonian times.
A relief from the Northwest palace in Nimrud, built by the Assyrian king Assurnasirpal II and dated to 860 BC, can be seen at the museum. Across the relief is a long inscription that tells the story of the king and his achievements.
The Englishman Austin Henry excavated the relief in the 1840’s in Iraq and presented it to Queen Josephine of Sweden. She in turn donated it to The National Museum of Fine Arts in Stockholm for its opening in 1866.A copy of the original relief is on display for the time being at the museum.
