Illustration
A close-up image of a colorful scene on a tile from Assyria which shows that the Assyrian king Ashurnasirpal II is accompanied by a bodyguard and attendants. This tile was probably part of a sequence showing the king as triumphant warrior and hunter. It is thought that most Assyrian palaces and major buildings had such paintwork and decorative elements, at least in the reception rooms.
From Nimrud (ancient Kalhu), northern Mesopotamia, Iraq. Neo-Assyrian period, 875-850 BCE. (The British Museum, London).
