Note 423 — Chapter III
Walter Armstrong translation
In more than one battle scene do we find these birds floating over the heads of the combatants (Layard, Monuments, 1st series, plates 18, 22, 26, &c). We may also refer to the curious monument from Tell-lôh, in which vultures carrying off human heads and limbs in the clouds are represented. For an engraving of it see our chapter on Chaldæan sculpture.
