Asset number 354010001: Gypsum wall panel relief: Sennacherib watches the capture of Lachish. He sits on a throne and watches as prisoners are brought before him and executed. A tent is behind him; there is a chariot in the foreground and bodyguards stationed around. The king's face has been deliberately damaged, perhaps at the fall of Nineveh in 612BC. The relief bears an inscription written in cuneiform script. © The Trustees of the British Museum: https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/W_1856-0909-14_7
