Nuzi ware

Nuzi ware is typically found from the Orontes River valley in the west, to as far as Babylon in the east.

[1] In the south, specimens were also found in Qatna,[2] a city that lies outside the sphere of influence of the Mitanni empire, which indicates that the Nuzi ceramics was also used as trade goods.

The elegantly decorated Nuzi ware, with its delicate vessel shapes thus quickly aroused particular interest among researchers.

[5] Especially in Alalakh (modern Tell Atchana) numerous examples of this ceramic came to light, which are decorated with floral motifs.

[8] Similar conclusions were also reached by Paul Zimansky (1995), based on his examination at the Tell Hamida site.
