Description: The British Museum, Room 9 - Nineveh Palace Reliefs
This room houses reliefs that originally decorated two sides of a courtyard at the Southwest Palace of Sennacherib and his successors at Nineveh. Instead of the usual scenes of warfare they depict the transport from the quarries of huge human-headed winged bulls for the palace doorways. Other panels show campaigns in the marshes of southern Iraq and the bringing of tribute.
