Stone relief from the South-West Palace of King Sennacherib (reigned 704-681 BC) / Nineveh / northern Iraq. Neo-Assyrian / 704-681 BC. On the right stands an empty-handed man wearing the horned headdress of a god. This may be the god 'House God' / associated with frightening away the effects of witchcraft. The lion-headed / eagle-footed man holding a mace and upraised dagger is an ugallu (great lion or great storm demon).
