Zusammenfassung: | Ivory carving, which is thought to enter Anatolia as a result of highly advanced
commercial and cultural relations of the 1st Millennia BC, spread to a wider area
and every region created their own school once it became a tradable product. The
ivory artefacts found in Urartian settlements such as Altıntepe, Toprakkale and Kamir
Blur suggest that Urartu was not indifferent to ‘Ivory Artefact Carving’, which is also
known to exist in the 1st Millennia BC in Syria, Iran, Assyria, Phoenicia, Phrygia,
and some of the Neo-Hittite Kingdoms. Technical competence seen in these artefacts
brings up the question of whether they came to the Urartian lands via commercial
activities such as import and export between these small states or it was Urartu’s own
development of turning this art into local production. |
