Four Assyrian soldiers

Although the vehicle is not preserved, the close grouping of these four soldiers indicates that they originally stood in a chariot. A beardless officer with a bow is seen in the front. To his right is the charioteer, who has both arms extended to hold the reins. Two shield bearers stand behind them. Because the archer holds his bow at rest, this relief probably does not portray a battle scene, but rather a royal procession following combat. (See External Link.)
