EDITORS COMMENTS
This intricately carved detail from the Stela of Shamshi-Adad V, discovered at the Temple of Nabu in Nimrud, Iraq, showcases the powerful and regal presence of the ancient Assyrian king. Dated to around 811 BC, during the Neo-Assyrian period, the stela stands as a testament to the grandeur and religious significance of the Assyrian kingdom. King Shamshi-Adad V, depicted in profile, is shown with a full beard and an extended forefinger of his right hand, a common gesture of respect and submission towards the gods. The king wears a large, ornate headdress, adorned with the horns of a bull and the solar disk, symbolizing his divine connection and authority. The figure is dressed in archaic Assyrian attire, complete with a chest piece and a skirt, both intricately decorated with cuneiform inscriptions and geometric patterns. The king's arms are crossed in front of his chest, holding a spear and a shield, emphasizing his military prowess and readiness for battle. The stela, carved from limestone, is covered in intricate Maltese cross patterns and other decorative motifs, reflecting the rich artistic traditions of Mesopotamia. The figure of the king is flanked by the gods Ashur and Ishtar, further emphasizing his divine connection and the religious significance of his rule. This detail from the Stela of Shamshi-Adad V is now housed in the British Museum in London, England, where it continues to inspire awe and fascination among scholars and visitors alike, offering a glimpse into the ancient world and the powerful rulers who once ruled over it.
