    Another object in the April 3rd Bonhams sale in the news is the lower part 1.4m tall ( lot 99 est. £600,000 to £800,000) of an Assyrian royal stele c. 600 BC dedicated to King Adad-nerari III from Tell Sheikh Hamad (eastern Syria, near the Iraqi border). The Syrian site has been excavated since the 1970s by German archaeologists led by Hartmut Kühne. After a previous failed attempt to sell it at Christie’s New York in 2000, Karen Radner (an Assyriologist at University College London), linked the piece with a fragment of the upper part of the same object in the British Museum and identified the praying figure as Adad-nerari III (Martin Bailey, 'British Museum will not bid for fragment of Assyrian stele—even though it owns the rest', The Art Newspaper 27 March 2014). The basalt stele would have been installed at a shrine commemorating a military victory.
