myminifactory

In this relief, two Elamite kings wear bulbous hats as they are taunted by a group of Assyrian courtiers and at least one priest. According to the accompanying inscription, these captured monarchs are being forced to serve food and drink at Ashurbapinal's banquet. One king carries a jug of wine, while the other holds a fly whisk in hand. Three Assyrian courtiers throw themselves at the kings' feet in mock adoration.
