Recipe Details
Ingredients
lapis lazuli
Evidence
"often in precious luxury materials such as lapis, or in fragile materials such as ivory, faience, or glass."
Remarks
Lapis lazuli was used in the late Middle Assyrian and Neo-Assyrian periods for ovoid maces intended for votive and ritual functions (p. 14). While described as a bulk material for the artifact, it serves as the source for ultramarine pigments in decorative contexts.
