Assyrian relief, from the Central Palace at Nimrud (ancient Kalhu), Mesopotamia, Iraq, Neo-Assyrian Empire, c. 728 BCE.

This is part of a series of reliefs showing Arab prisoners brought before the Assyrian King Tiglath-Pileser III (r. 744-727 BCE). The hands of two women prisoners are visible on the extreme right. The prisoners are led by an Assyrian official. The king would have been shown in a panel on the left.

The British Museum, London.
