Description
In this relief, a group of Assyrian courtiers and at least one priest taunt two captured Elamite kings wearing bulbous hats. The accompanying inscription explains that the captured kings are being forced to serve food and drink at Ashurbapinal's banquet. One Elamite carries a jug of wine while the other holds a fly whisk. Three Assyrian courtiers throw themselves at the captured kings' feet in mock adulation.
Scanned at The 'I Am Ashurbapinal' exhibition at The British Museum, London. 2019
