The Details of the Assyrian reliefs

This set of pictures is designed to show the incredible detail of the Assyrian reliefs. This shot is a close up of part of the King's cloak Note the carved flowers

Stepping back a bit we see that the former picture is part of the King's cloak or scarf with tassels at the bottom

Now we can see parts of the King's arm and the flowers from the first picture have become very small

Now we see the entire relief and the incredible detail. The carved flowers of the first picture are virtually invisible. The fine detail on these 2500 year old panels is something special to see. If you go to the British museum be sure to seek out the Assyrian sections
