Abstract
In a previous number of Iraq, R. D. Barnett published an article, based on a communication given by him to the Rencontre Assyriologie in 1954, on the important discovery made at Ziwiye, a find that has posed so many definite questions and produced so few definite answers. Some drawings of hitherto unpublished material from this site in the possession of the Metropolitan Museum may perhaps be of interest, especially to those concerned with the problems posed by the bronze container in which the treasure was reputedly found. This receptacle was in the form of a coffin or bath of which one end was curved (Fig. 1). The other end was straight, one of its right-angled corners being now in the Metropolitan Museum (Fig. 2). This shape, common among the earthenware coffins at Assur and at Ur, was recognised as being similar to two other metal ones unearthed by Sir Leonard Woolley at the latter site.
