DESCRIPTION OF THE PLATES.
PLATE XIII
ASSYRIANS MOVING A WINGED BULL ON A SLEDGE. (KOUYUNJIK.)
/Nos 54 and 56 of Hall VI.) The connecting slab, representing workmen dragging
the sledged been utterly destroyed, The Tigris is again represented.
PLATE XIV.
ASSYRIANS BUILDING A MOUND FOR THE ERECTION OE A PALACE. (KOUYUNJIK.)
qq 67 and 68 Hall VI.) The short epigraphs over the figures declare that these bas-
Ife represent the building by Sennacherib of his Palace at Nineveh. In the centre square
the brick-makers. Many of the workmen were probably slaves or criminals, as they are
in fetters.
PLATE XV.
PBAWING A WINGED BULL TO THE TOP OE AN ARTIFICIAL MOUND. (KOUYUNJIK.)
Sennacherib himself superintends the operations, which appear to have been carried
• the banks of the river Tigris. It may consequently be inferred that the building of
the mind and Palace of Kouyunjik is represented. (Nos. 63 and 64, Hall VI.)
PLATE XVI.
DRAWING UPRIGHT BULL. (KOUYUNJIK.)
Part of the same series as the bas-reliefs in the previous plates. The Assyrians seem
to be represented as finally placing a colossus. (Nos. 44, 45, and 46, Hall VI.)
PLATE XVII.
WORKMEN WITH IMPLEMENTS AND ROPES FOR; MOVING WINGED BULL. (KOUYUNJIK.)
(No. 62, on the same side of the Hall.) This completes the series of bas-reliefs
discovered at Kouyunjik, representing the various processes adopted by the Assyrians in
moving the winged Bulls. A full description of them will be found in the fifth chapter of
my smaller work. Those contained in plates 12, 13, and 15, &c, are in the British
Museum.
PLATE XVIII.
THE SIEGE AND SACK OE A CITY. (KOUYUNJIK.)
Forming the sides of a narrow chamber. (Nos. 12, 13, 14, and 15, XII.) From the
dress and features of the prisoners it may be conjectured that these bas-reliefs record the
conquest of a Syrian nation.
PLATE XIX.
A CONQUERED NATION LED AWAY CAPTIVE. (KOUYUNJIK.)
(Nos. 7 and 8, XXXII.) No inscription remains to identify the country of the
captives.
PLATE XX.
ASSYRIAN ARMY BEEORE THE CITY OF LACHISH. (KOUYUNJIK.)
(Nos. 5 and 6, XXXVI.)
PLATE XXI.
THE SIEGE OE THE CITY OE LACHISH BY SENNACHERIB.
(Nos. 7 and 8. Same chamber.)
PLATE XXII.
CAPTIVES AND SPOIL FROM THE CITY OF LACHISH.
(Nos. 9 and 10. Same chamber.)
PLATE XXIII.
SENNACHERIB BEFORE THE CITY OF LACHISH.
(Nos. 11 and 12. Same chamber.) The inscription in this plate declares that the
King beneath is Sennacherib, the King of Assyria, seated on the throne of judgment
before the city of Lakhisa. The captives led to him are consequently Jews. The
figure in the embroidered robe standing before him is probably the General of his army,
perhaps the Rabshakeh himself, whom Sennacherib sent to Hezekiah.
