Likely from Sennacherib’s Southwest Palace at Nineveh, this fragment preserves a line of four captives walking to the left, the third carrying a bag over his shoulders. For a similar scene showing Babylonian captives wearing slightly different costumes, see the example now in the British Museum, no. 286b in R.D. Barnett, et al., Sculptures from the Southwest Palace of Sennacherib at Nineveh.
