Summary
| Description |
English: This gypsum panel shows the Assyrian army attacking the Egyptian city of Memphis and commemorates the final victory of the Assyrian king Ashurbanipal II over the Egyptian king Taharqa in 667 BCE. This wall slab was originally painted for the interior walls of Ashurbanipal's palace at Ninevah. At the top, the overwhelming wave of the Assyrian army storms the Egyptian fortress tries to set fire to the gate and undermines the walls. The Nubian soldiers, recognizable by their single upright feathers on their heads, are being marched off as prisoners. Egyptian civilian prisoners are shown as a group with two children on a donkey. Below is the River Nile with fish and crabs. Neo-Assyrian Period, 645-635 BCE. Panel 17, Room M of the North Palace at Nineveh, Northern Mesopotamia, modern-day Iraq. British Museum, London. |
