"The Dying Lion", a stone panel from Ninveh, northern Iraq, Neo-Assyrian, 645 BCE. Small alabaster wall panel showing a lion struck by one of the king's arrows; blood gushes from the lion's mouth, veins stand out on his face. Lions symbolized everything that was hostile to urban civilization and there was a long tradition of royal lion hunts in Mesopotamia. From the North Palace of King Ashurbanipal in Ninveh, northern Iraq. ANE 1992-4-4,1.
