Carved gypsum wall panel relief: incomplete. Divided into three horizontal registers. Assyrian soldiers destroy an Arab encampment; in the upper two rows, soldiers assault women, a kind of scene unparalleled in Assyrian sculpture. Apparently, in this case it was the policy to be entirely ruthless. In the bottom row, men and women are dead, and tents, unpegged and flopping in the flames.
