This black-and-white line drawing reproduces an Assyrian stone relief, likely from the Neo-Assyrian period (9th-7th century BCE), showing a stylized chariot with a single horse and three human figures in ritual posture above. The lower section includes two inverted cone-shaped objects-possibly sacred trees or ritual vessels-flanking a decorative frieze with geometric and floral motifs. Such reliefs adorned palace walls and conveyed royal power, divine favor, and military might.
