About This Item
New Haven: Yale Univ Pr, 1998. 248pp/illus/map. In the "Palace without Rival" at Nineveh, the Assyrian King Sennacherib immortalised his 701 B. C. Campaign against Jerusalem with a series of spectacular wall relief sculptures. Amazingly, when the palace was rediscovered twenty-five centuries later in 1847, the sculpture in the throne room areas remained largely intact. But today, air pollution, animal damage, vandalism, neglect, and - worst of all - looting for the international antiquities market by Iraq's own sanctions-striken people, have brought ruin to the palace. Previous owner name embossed on title page. Text clean. 1st Edition. Cloth. Fine/Fine. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall.
