Gypsum wall panel relief showcases a beardless attendant who serves as the Keeper of the King’s Bow. This dignitary proudly wears over his garment a fringed wrap adorned with intricate designs featuring rosettes and concentric squares. His earring boasts three prominent knob-like projections, adding to his regal appearance. The bow, terminating in a duck's head, rests across his left shoulder, while the quiver is equipped with fringes that hang elegantly before him. A prominent inscription adorns this elaborate panel. Unearthed within Tiglath-pileser III’s magnificent central Palace of Nimrud, this stunning relief stands at an impressive 105 centimeters in height and 118 centimeters in width. Captured through a meticulous process involving 29 photographs taken just prior to gallery closing under low light conditions, the scan was processed using Photoscan Pro on a Sony A6000. Despite some limitations with the mesh quality for this particular model, the resulting image showcases the intricate details of this ancient relief.
