Assyrian wall panel, from the Central Palace at Nimrud (ancient Kalhu), Mesopotamia, modern-day Iraq, reused later in the South-West Palace, from the reign of Tiglath-Pileser III, c. 728 BCE.
One of a series, it shows two disconnected scenes. Above is part of a battle. Below, the royal chariot waits behind Tiglath-Pileser III, who was shown on a panel to the right. The writing in the middle deals with the Assyrian military campaigns in modern-day Syria and Iran in 738-737 BCE.
