This gypsum wall panel depicts a procession of Assyrian courtiers and eunuchs carrying the King's throne; only the anterior part of the decorated throne's pole survives. This scene represents a remarkable development in the Assyrian art as the peculiar combination of throne and carriage was attested for the very first time during the reign of the Assyrian king Tiglath-pileser III (reigned 745-727 BCE). Neo-Assyrian Period, reign of Sennacherib, 704-689 BCE. This panel was placed on a side wall of a ramp at Nineveh, Mesopotamia, modern-day Iraq. (Pergamon Museum, Berlin, Germany)
