Unknown Artist, Assyrian Relief: Ashurnasirpal with Attendants Celebrating a Hunt from Kalhu (Nimrud), Iraq, Northwest Palace, West Wing, panel 16, ca. 875-860 B.C.E., gypsum (Mosul alabaster), 35 7/8 in. x 28 7/8 in. x 6 1/2 in. (91.2 cm. x 73.3 cm. x 16.5 cm.), This fragment shows Ashurnasirpal and his attendants pouring a libation to the gods in thanks for a successful hunt. The king, the central figure in this fragment, holds a bow in his left hand and a libation dish in his right, and he is followed by two beardless attendants who are understood to be eunuchs. One holds a parasol to shade the king while the other carries a bow and quiver. All three figures are equipped with wide belts with rings that attached to the hunting chariot and aprons that protected the hunters against chafing. The arm that extends into the scene from the right holds a flywhisk and would have belonged to the figure of another attendant.
