A neo-Assyrian relief in the Weingreen Museum of Biblical Antiquities, Trinity College Dublin*a case study in artefact acquisition AMANDA KELLY* Classics Department, National University of Ireland, Galway [Accepted 7 September 2010. Published 14 October 2011.] Abstract The focus of this paper is a neo-Assyrian relief discovered in the Weingreen Museum of Biblical Antiquities at Trinity College Dublin (hereafter the Weingreen Museum). The shallow relief depicts a pictorial vignette of a kneeling genie, rendered in profile, facing a tree of life, on a horizon formed by a cuneiform border (WM 1189). Details surrounding the relief’s acquisition were completely unknown to Trinity College Dublin staff during 2008Á9. This investigation follows a paper trail which illuminates the circumstances behind its procurement and subsequent journey from Iraq to Dublin in the Victorian period.
