Nimroud Sculptures...Flight of an Arab Mounted upon a Camel, 1850. Creator: Unknown

Nimroud Sculptures, just received at the British Museum - Flight of an Arab Mounted upon a Camel, 1850. Engraving of...a fine, though unfortunately broken slab, representing the flight of an Arab mounted on a camel: he is closely pursued by two horsemen, whom he seems to be deriding, or from whom he may be imploring quarter. His pursuers ride with their lances directed towards the ground, for the purpose, doubtless, of despatching the wounded, several of whom are scattered about. The Arab guides his camel by the aid of a halter only. In rendering the attitude of the camel, whether in motion or at rest, the ancient sculptor has been remarkably successful'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
