Lion hunt on horseback. Assyrian, 645-635 BC. Grooms lead horses towards a screened enclosure, within which the royal chariot is being prepared for the hunt. Men struggle to push one horse into position; the other is having its harness tightened. King Ashurbanipal is already in the chariot and reaches back to receive a bow which is being handed to him.
