ASSYRIAN ANTIQUITIES. 
On the south side of this room are several reliefs, from excava¬ 
tions made by Mr. Layard, at Nimroud, consisting of slabs representing 
an Assyrian monarch, attended by officers of his court—and foreigners 
bringing as tribute apes and other objects; also, other slabs from an 
excavation made at Khorsabad, in the neighbourhood of Nimroud, by 
Mr. Hector. They consist of three full-length figures, one of them a 
monarch; a figure with a bow and arrows; and other slabs with single

The accoutrements of the horses’ heads in these reliefs are very richly

which the eyes of the men and animals have been represented.
