Description
Two of a group of tribute-bearers who were shown on the facade of the throne room. The first one, who has a turban of a kind worn in north-west Syria, raises clenched hands in token of submission.
The second, who may be Phoenician, is bringing a pair of monkeys. The Assyrian kings enjoyed collecting exotic animals.
