Overview

Excerpt from The American Journal of Archeology and of the History of Fine Arts, 1886, Vol. 2 Owing to the nature of the building-materials of Assyria, the columns of that country were of wood,24 and but few vestiges of them have been preserved. Fragments of wooden shafts, encased in scales of bronze, have, however, been found,25 and these suffice to give certainty to the conclusions derived from the representations of columns upon Mesopotamian reliefs.
