Description
The top band of this wall panel shows a procession of musicians playing a lyre, vertical harp and double pipes. They advance towards two courtiers holding staves, who guard a panelled enclosure.
In the middle band two more courtiers guard the same garden enclosure, which conceals the royal party from public view.
Below, a boar roots amongst tall reeds.
From the North Palace, Nineveh, Iraq, 645-640 BC
Scanned at the 'I Am Ashurbapinal' exhibition at The British Museum, London. 2019.
