Alabaster stela of the Assyrian King Ashurnasirpal II (884-859 BC)

"From his capital city of Nimrud (now in Iraq), 9th century BC

ANE 118805

The stela shows the king and symbols of various gods. The cuneiform inscription gives the king's titles and describes his achievements in war and peace."

Another example of photographing art works. As I know almost nothing about the subject, I find ancient archaeology truly fascinating.
