This fragment of a human-headed winged-bull, from Tiglath-pileser III's palace, is carved in low-relief like a wall panel. There is a marked contrast with the colossal figures in very high relief, of both earlier and later periods. Assyrian, reign of Tiglath-pileser III, about 728 BCE. From the Central Palace at Nimrud (ancient Kalhu), Mesopotamia, Iraq. (The British Museum, London).
