Made between 645 and 635 BC, this carved wall panel once stood in King Ashurbanipal’s North Palace in the ancient Assyrian city of Nineveh, in modern-day Iraq. It shows two protective spirits known as Ugallu, or ‘Great Lion’. They’re not fighting one another – they’re guarding against evil forces which may come from any direction. The spirits are armed with daggers and maces. You can see more reliefs like this in Room 10a.
