A history of art in Chaldæa & Assyria, Vol. 2 (of 2)

Note 238 — Chapter II · SCULPTURE. (continued 2)

Walter Armstrong translation

We have round-headed steles of Assurnazirpal, of Shalmaneser II., of Samas-vul II., and of Sargon. Those of other princes are figured in the reliefs. In the Balawat gates we find Shalmaneser erecting them wherever his conquests led him (plate 12).

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
