Scan of a low-relief limestone panel from the Northwest imperial palace at Nimrud, now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
From the panel’s description of artsmia.org: “This genius, or demi-god, was part of a grouping of winged creatures facing a stylized tree, a scene repeated numerous times in the palace. They appear to be performing fertility rites associated with the date palm, a tree held sacred by the Assyrians because it provides food, drink, wood and shelter.”
