Note 184 — Chapter II · SCULPTURE. (continued 2)
Walter Armstrong translation
Layard, Nineveh, vol. ii. p. 436. The Assyrians seem to have been much struck with these apes when they first appeared at Calah. This is shown by the care expended upon them by the sculptor of Shalmaneser’s obelisk; he has reproduced the bas-relief of Assurnazirpal on a smaller scale (Layard, Monuments, first series, Plate 55).
