Relief depicting The royal lion hunt. Assyrian, about 645-635 BC From Nineveh, North Palace. The king, with his high distinctive hat, races round the arena in his chariot, shooting arrows at a succession of lions; one arrow, in mid-air, follows a wounded lion. Meanwhile attendants with spears, in the king’s chariot, ward off another wounded Uon that is attacking from behind.
