Assyrian wall panel from the Central Palace at Nimrud (ancient Kalhu), Mesopotamia, Iraq, reused later in the South-West Palace, from the reign of Tiglath-Pileser III, c. 728 BCE.
The panel, one of a series, shows 2 disconnected scenes. Above, Tiglath-Pileser III's army is attacking a town, perhaps in Syria. Below, Assyrian soldiers carry 'gods' captured from a defeated enemy. The writing in the middle describes the resettlement of prisoners after the Assyrian campaign of 745 BCE.
