Additions to the Assyrian Sculptures at the British Museum: The King in his Chariot, 1856. Creator: Harvey Orrin Smith
Additions to the Assyrian Sculptures at the British Museum: The King in his Chariot, 1856. Slab...from the North Palace at Kouyunjik, discovered in 1854 by Mr. Hormuzd Rassam...We have a continuous series, with but one break, of twenty three slabs, depicting a Royal Lion hunt...We find also in these sculptures good evidence that the Kings of Assyria were not genuine huntsmen. They did not seek the lion and hunt him in his own jungle, but had him trapped and reserved for special occasions...[The slab] is most elaborately cut, and full of rich detail. The King is in his chariot with two attendants - one driving, the other holding an umbrella. An attendant walks by the side, and two more follow with fans'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856
