The siege and capture of the city of Lachish in 701 BCE. Stone panel from the South-West Palace of Sennacherib (Room 36, no. 10). Nineveh, northern Iraq. NMeo-Assyrian, ca. 700-681 BCE.
Having been exiled from their city, the people of Lachish move through the countryside to be resettled elsewhere in the Assyrian Empire. Below them high officials and foreigners are being tortured and executed--likely being flayed alive. The foreigners are possibly officers from Nubia.
