The Seven Great Monarchies Of The Ancient Eastern World, Vol 2. (of 7): Assyria

CHAPTER VII
88/283

Above there sometimes stands a figure in a horned cap, shooting his arrows against the enemy.

Occasionally only one bull is represented, and the archer shoots standing upon the bull's back.

Below the circular framework are minor ornaments, as lions' and bulls' heads, or streamers adorned with tassels.

[PLATE CVIII., Fig.
