Currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. Found in a large storeroom at Fort Shalmaneser, a royal building at Nimrud that was probably used to store tribute and booty collected by the Assyrians while on military campaign.
Several elements, including the falcon head, nemes cloth (a royal, pleated headdress), solar disc crown, and wesekh broad collar with pendant droplets, are drawn from Egyptian art and suggest that this piece can be attributed to the Phoenician style. The male figures wear long, belted and pleated robes, rest on their left elbows, and bend their legs at the knee with their heads sharply turned to the right by the paws of the sphinxes above them.
