Kalah Sherghat, the only statue which has yet been discovered. It 
has been much injured, and has lost its head. 
In the Second Compartment are — 
1. A slab containing a battle scene. The king is in his chariot at 
full gallop. Above him is the symbol of divinity, the ferouher or 
winged figure in a circle. Before him are four warriors, three in the 
act of discharging their arrows backwards. Below him is a dead 
figure pierced by two arrows; on the plain in the distance is another 
dead body devoured by an eagle. 
2. Is a continuation of the same scene. Two chariots are repre¬ 
sented, each containing two figures; from the centre of each chariot 
proceeds a standard, consisting in one case, of some mythical repre¬ 
sentation, and in the other of the ferouher. Before the chariots are 
three warriors, two of whom are discharging their arrows backwards. 
3. A slab with the siege of a town or castle, containing three tiers of 
embattled walls, on which warriors are seen discharging arrows, and 
others on the plain without; an inclined plane, supporting a battering 
ram with its covering to protect the besiegers, rests against the outer 
wall, figures are falling from the walls, and two are recumbent at the 
base of the external one; within the walls and in the plain are two 
date palm trees. 
4. Is a slab with two warriors standing and discharging arrows. 
Before them is a lake, on the banks of which grow three trees; a 
portion of a tower is visible on the upper edge of the lake. 
5. Is a slab on which is the siege of another town. A battering 
ram on an inclined plane is forced against the walls; three archers 
stand behind, and three figures are represented as impaled in the 
distance; beneath the inclined plane are two dead bodies. 
6. and 7. Are slabs representing a city which has been taken. Two 
battering rams stand idle beside its walls. Two carts, each with 
three female figures, and drawn by two bullocks, are leaving the city. 
In the distance are eunuchs driving away the spoil of sheep, rams, 
and oxen, and taking an inventory thereof. 
8. Is a slab with an eunuch who is bringing up the prisoners, 
four of whom, two and two, are following him with their hands tied

In the Third Compartment are— 
1. and 2. Are slabs containing a continuous subject—a battle scene, 
in which are five war-chariots and foot soldiers proceeding to the attack 
of a castle which stands in a marsh or on the banks of a river. In 
the foremost chariot but one is the king, with the ferouher over his 
head. On the plain are individual combats, and on the castle three 
warriors discharging arrows at the approaching army. At the base 
of slab No. 2 is a representation of water and water plants.
