Summary[edit]

Description
English: The King stands majestically, facing left in a sharp terrorizing look and eye, resting his left hand on his sword’s hilt, grasping a royal staff with his right hand, and wearing the full marvelous royal garment (indescribable embroidery) and accessories. The relief was flanked by two Apkallus (these two Apkallu reliefs are now housed in New York and New Haven). Note the traces of red and black colors on the King’s sandals. From the head of Room S, Panel 3, the North-West Palace at Nimrud (ancient Kalhu), Mesopotamia, modern-day Iraq. Room S was the King’s private area and part of the “South Suite”. Neo-Assyrian Period, 865-860 BCE. British Museum.
