content: This is a cast of a stone wall panel relief of a winged human headed lion. Records indicate the original is in the British Museum. This may be a cast of one of the famous lamassu in the British Museum, such as British Museum # 118873, in which case it would be from Nimrud (Kalhu), not Nineveh as it is catalogued.
