The crashed golden bowl was found in 1958 by  Robert H. Dyson JR. in the debris of Burned Building I West in Iron Citadel, where it was buried under the collapsed walls of the second storey along with the bodies of three men at the end of the nine century BC. In the bowl engraved with images of gods and rituals scenes, were three other precious artifacts:a stone cylinder with gold caps, a figurine of laminated ivory, and a sword-hilt with bronze guard.
