This alabaster bas-relief is probably part of a long religious ritual scene. The beaded male figure on the left has two pairs of wings and holds a pine cone in his right hand while the left hand holds a bucket. He wears a horned helmet. Behind him, a bearded Assyrian man, wearing a diadem and holding a branch of flowers, stands. Both wear long fringed robes, bracelets, armlets, sandals, and earrings. From the Royal Palace of Sargon II at Khorsabad, in modern-day Nineveh Governorate, Iraq. Circa 710 BCE. On display at Room X of the Iraqi Museum in Baghdad, Republic of Iraq.
