The Gypsum wall panel relief depicts the king, Tiglath-Pileser III, showcasing a long full beard, a prominent moustache, and intricately curled hair. A high crown adorns his head, featuring three bands that are lavishly ornamented with rosettes. The ends of the lowest band cascade down his back, adding to his majestic appearance. His garment boasts a fringed border adorned with alternating rosettes and concentric squares. On his ear, he wears an unassuming earring, while on his wrist rests a four-fold bracelet centered with a delicate many-petalled rosette. Tiglath-Pileser III holds a staff in his raised right hand; unfortunately, his left hand is no longer preserved. The panel itself bears an inscription that provides further insight into the artwork.
